KESWA is the umbrella body of sex workers led groups and organisations and it exists to strengthen the voices of sex workers and to empower their health and human rights.
KESWA advocates for sex worker’s rights as human rights, through awareness raising, capacity strengthening, organisational development and national advocacy.
Our vision is to create a Kenyan society that recognises sex work as work and promotes equal protection of human rights which are foundational of a democratic society.
Our main objectives are to advocate for equality, reliability, transparency, accountability and respect among sex workers.

The last month saw sex workers, representing almost all the regions across Kenya come together for the Sex Workers Advocacy Training. The main aim for this was to equip the various groups with better, diplomatic and sovereign problem solving approaches towards their day to day challenges. The three-day intense SW advocacy training was summed up by the KESWA 2021 annual report launch.

Inequality is one of the pillars of the world economy. Every individual and organization has a role to play in mobilizing skills, talents, and life experiences to move towards a more just and equitable world where all have what they need to survive and thrive in life.
