Sexworkers are Humans Being Too - Leaflet

Produced by Action Institute for Environmental Health and Development Communication (Action IEHDC), this z-folder leaflet is designed for sex workers working mainly in the border towns of Zimbabwe and seeks to raise awareness of risky sexual behaviour and inform sex workers of their rights.
The leaflet addresses the issue of alcohol and sex work, what to do when infected with sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the importance of getting tested regularly, the importance of consistent condom use, and the rights of sex workers, and what to do when rights are violated. It also includes a section on where to get help, offering a list of organisations in each of the border towns of Chirundu and Beitbridge.
Ten thousand copies of the z –folder were printed in English, Shona, and Ndebele and distributed at Chirundu and Beitbridge, two of the main border towns in Zimbabwe.
The leaflet forms part of the Soul City Regional Programme on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights which is working to intensify cross border social and behaviour change communication (SBCC) interventions with a particular focus on high risk groups such as sex workers, truckers, and migrant populations. The cross border work of the programme is taking place in Namibia, Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The programme is an initiative of the Soul City Institute for Health and Development Communication and 7 regional partners and is funded by the Sweden and Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad).
