Sonke is a steering committee member of the Asijiki Coalition for the Decriminalisation of Sex Work. The Coalition advocates for sex worker human rights and the urgent reform of laws on sex work in South Africa.
The following fact sheets have been compiled that reflect contemporary debates on sex work and current evidence on sex work and the law. They show how the decriminalisation of sex work would reflect South Africa’s commitment to human rights, and to fulfilling public health goals.
Sonke is a South African-based non-profit organisation working throughout Africa. We believe women and men, girls and boys can work together to resist patriarchy, advocate for gender justice and achieve gender transformation.
