Such a brilliant session featuring new research from SIAPP, @SaheliSangh @SangamaIndia adopting a life cycle approach to sex workers’ health and well being; Dr Vandana Prasad was a tour de force calling for participatory learning and action

"When we talk about sex workers, why are we only talking about sex workers who are mothers, daughters? Them being revered only if they are a dutiful mother, daughter. Why don't we see them as people first, and their rights as human beings?", asks Manak Matiyani (@Dafliwala).

"While we keep saying 'No means no' and talk about how consent is necessary. But how much do we see that around us? Is a sex worker's consent respected? Are they facing violence for saying no?" says Naveen Gupta from DSLSA.

"The harassment that sex workers face from the police or healthcare providers is relentless. It can really break the spirit of the sex workers. We must develop a code of conduct for these officials, so they treat sex workers with dignity", adds Akhila Sivadas from @CFARngo.
