Surviving the client: Violence Kenya’s sex workers face every day Activists are calling for safer reporting systems and stronger access to justice for sex workers across Africa. Gender 7 min ago
Photo credit: Photo | Pool According to Swop Ambassadors, a grassroots feminist collective by and for sex workers working to end violence against female sex workers, 27 women engaged in sex work were murdered in Nairobi in 2025 alone, while at least 345 cases of violence against them were documented across the capital.
To close the data gap, Aswa developed the Murder Monitoring Tool, an online platform accessible on smartphones and via the Aswa website, where sex workers can report violence in real time from wherever they are.
