For sex workers, #mobility is safety.

In #Uganda, the #COVID19 #pandemic changed the #GBV context in a way lockdowns, curfews and social isolations exposed sex workers in their different diversities (#gender, #race, #tribe, #class) to violence and coercion. They were unable to escape abusive partners due to restrictions on mobility.

#AllWomenCount partners mitigated the crisis by training community leaders to identify GBV survivors and refer GBV victims to appropriate available support. They also trained paralegals who were staged at different catchment areas covering a number of hotspots where members operate or stay.

Partners accessed a Ministry of Health support that enabled them to use the organizational vehicle and reach out to survivors for violence related support such as physical counseling, transporting members to safe spaces, medication and mediation services.

Mobility as key to safety in times of emergencies emerged as a key learning.

Story 5️⃣ from 'Drawing Resistance and Resilience' #campaign talks about sensitizing systems on #SexWork for better emergency response.

Measures to curb the spread of #COVID19 in #Kisumu County, #Kenya included closure of bars, hotels, and other social premises, as well as an emphasis on social distancing. This adversely affected the sex worker population that could not find clients at their usual hotspots and had to go to their clients’ homes putting them at a higher risk of violence.

Three sex workers were killed while over 148 reported cases of #GBV were recorded.

The #criminalisation of sex work meant reduced access to #justice and many sex workers were afraid to report incidences of violence at the gender desks at police stations.

#SRHR and ₹HIV services were hampered putting the lives of those living with HIV at risk. Our partners working in Kisumu mitigated the crisis by:
👉🏽Mental and physical health: Setting up centres to provide psycho-social and physical health support during the lockdown.
👉🏽Responding to violence: Setting up hotlines for GBV and working together with the police and health centres to ensure quick response.

Our partners in #Kisumu were successful in sensitizing the #police, #health and administrative systems over the years on sex work which made conducting the relief work with their support possible.
