Sisters with a Voice
Female sex workers (FSW) in Africa bear the brunt of HIV. In Zimbabwe, HIV prevalence is 58% among FSW, and incidence is high. In 2009, the Sisters with a Voice programme was established by CeSHHAR on behalf of National AIDS Council for FSW and has national reach, operating in 36 sites across Zimbabwe. Clinical services are provided at government health facilities, supported by peer-led community empowerment; 53,000 FSW have been seen to date.
