Description of Activities

Living in Community is an innovative community initiative that is working to change the conversations we have about sex work. We bring together groups who hold different perspectives to collaborate for change around sex work issues. We focus on getting at root causes like stigma, poverty and gender-based violence that create vulnerability not only for sex workers, but also for other community members. We educate, change policies and share our unique model of collaboration with the goal of creating communities that are healthy and safe for everyone.
