Focused Advancement of Support & Tools for Extended HIV Responses (FASTER)

The story so far

For young women selling sex in busy trading centres, a clinic visit could mean judgment, refusal — or worse. Together, CEGIWE led on rights advocacy while CARE led on community mobilisation: pressing for protective laws and policies, softening clinics and police posts through sensitisation, and pushing for more domestic funding for community projects that stand with sex workers. A rapid community log captured every refusal of care and every act of violence, so no incident disappeared quietly.

What changed ♡

• ✿ Clinics and police posts sensitised toward non-judgmental care
• ✿ Community log documenting refusals of care and violence
• ✿ Stronger call for domestic funding for sex-worker-led support
