#DecrimKE
Kenya’s laws criminalise activities around sex work, fuelling police harassment and violence. Through evidence, advocacy and strategic litigation, we work for the removal of punitive laws so sex workers are safer, healthier and free.
An umbrella body of sex worker–led organizations amplifying the voices of sex workers across all 47 counties of Kenya.
