This case study explores the work of Link Up implementing partner the Nikat Charitable Association, in supporting young women who sell sex.

Since 2014, Nikat Charitable Association, a partner in the Link Up programme, has run a radio programme giving young women who sell sex a platform to share their experiences. It improved relations with police in Addis Ababa and built wider acceptance of sex workers’ rights and health needs. This is an archive case study from 2016, when Frontline AIDS was the International HIV/AIDS Alliance.

This article was written as the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, before we changed our name to Frontline AIDS.
