"RELUCTANT sex workers_001"
‘Sex for Survival’ is the mantra many of the women chant in a fishing village where widows have assumed the awesome responsibility of raising their family, where they have no means of support. The women are proud, but desperate so they resort to sex work, an age old profession. Grace, Mbabaz and Eva are all HIV+, widows pose proudly along the shore.
