Greetings! My name is Charmaine Dube and I am from the Zimbabwe Sex Workers Alliance. Zimbabwe is one of 103 countries worldwide in which sex work is criminalised and this leaves us unprotected by the law and exposed to a lot of human rights violations. As sex workers, decriminalisation of sex work means us having improved working and living conditions. As the Zimbabwe sex workers we call for the removal of all laws that directly or indirectly criminalise sex work as this is the first step in ensuring we are protected and our dignity is upheld. Decriminalising sex work and sex workers will ensure that sex workers enjoy their fundamental rights and freedoms. Decriminalisation of sex work will help improve our living and working conditions as sex workers.
