This organisation is @CARE4US_Uganda https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙌" title="Raising hands" aria-label="Emoji: Raising hands">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇺🇬" title="Flagge von Uganda" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Uganda">

and were founded in January of last year.

The team at CARE For Us caught wind of GSWR on Twitter and got in touch...

They have provided personal accounts by several of their members who are sex workers.

(CARE For Us also generously organised for the pieces to be translated into English https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📖" title="Offenes Buch" aria-label="Emoji: Offenes Buch">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen">)

These stories form a powerful and humbling trio...

In reading them, you will encounter the strength, resourcefulness & humanity of Ugandan sex workers, who face some of the worst kinds of hardship and suffering.

And who have been met with even worse in the wake of the pandemic.

It is my hope that when these stories are published, we do not shy away from their truth, but rather embrace it.

If we do, we will have the chance to hear, understand, and feel with those who need it most https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🫂" title="People hugging" aria-label="Emoji: People hugging">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Grünes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Grünes Herz">
