Empowering Female Sex Workers Including Transgenders to Build Their Bridge to Healthcare Through A Model That Incorporates Technology, Peer Networking, and Medical Safe Spaces

Female sex workers (FSWs), including Transgender (TG) women in India are oppressed & highly stigmatized, living in acute poverty, routinely facing violence, sexual assault & rape. Health is a neglected issue due to discrimination at healthcare centers and economic insecurity. Our multi-level innovation enables & empowers FSWs to access timely pre & postexposure prophylaxis against HIV, STI testing, and psychological/legal support in a safe & non-judgmental manner that is currently unavailable.
