Sex workers have been fighting for the right to work freely and safely in South Africa.
Advocates/activists, political figures, the general public, and over one hundred sex workers today took part in the walk from Johannesburg CBD to Hillbrow in solidarity with sex workers in decriminalising sex work.
Nomsa Mazwai, the activist-academic-artist founder of an NPO called #FunkItImWalking, an organisation whose sole aim is to make the streets safer for women to walk at any time of day in any condition, joined forces with organisations Sex Workers Education and Advocacy Taskforce (SWEAT) and Sisonke South Africa to foreground the plight of sex workers in a bid to decriminalise sex work in the country.
