Workshops with Community Partners

Visual notes from a meeting involving researchers, HIV charities and sex workers' rights activists on inclusive HIV campaigns and sex work in the UK, Italy and South Africa. The meeting addressed historical perspectives, and challenges at present as well as in the future.

Visual notes from the workshop on inclusive HIV campaigns and sex work, which some project team members (Nikolaos Papadogiannis, Mbali Pewa, Lucy Cann) co-designed and delivered with Giulia Sbaffi and community partners. Those partners included, among others, members of Sisonke (South Africa), SWIPE (Italy), Terrence Higgins Trust (UK), the National AIDS Trust (UK), National Ugly Mugs (UK), Scotland for Decrim, and Ruth Morgan Thomas. 
The workshop addressed challenges that sex workers have faced in HIV campaigns, but also productive examples from synergies between HIV activism and sex workers’ rights activism in South Africa, Italy, and the UK. The fair participation of voices from the Global South and the intersectional dimensions of HIV campaigns and sex workers’ rights activism figured prominently in the workshop and were addressed particularly in relation to the demand for the decriminalisation of sex work. The event took place in the National Library of Scotland thanks to funding from UKRI. Eddy Phillips prepared the visual notes
