This Valentine’s Day, we celebrate love, resilience, and solidarity. To all refugee and migrant sex workers in your beautiful diversities — you are worthy of safety, dignity, healthcare, protection, and real love. Love is standing together. Love is demanding our rights. Love is choosing ourselves.

Today, KNESWO Feminist Initiative joins the world to mark #WorldCondomDay. Across Kenya, refugee & migrant sex workers in all their diversities are calling for real investment in prevention. Condoms save lives — stockouts, stigma & criminalization put us at risk. Invest in condoms.

Ahead of #InternationalCondomDay, refugee & migrant sex workers in all their diversities are facing critical condom shortages. Condoms are life-saving — not luxuries. Without access, risks of HIV, STIs & unintended pregnancies increase. We can’t #EndHIV

Reproductive rights are human rights. Refugee & migrant sex workers in all their diversities deserve full bodily autonomy, access to SRHR services, and freedom from stigma and discrimination. My body. My decision. ✊🏽 #MyBodyMyDecision #ReproductiveRights #SRHR #SexWorkersRights

Sexual rights are human rights. For refugee & migrant sex workers in all their diversities, bodily autonomy, consent, dignity, and freedom of choice matter. No one owns our bodies. My Body. My Decision. My Choice. #HIAS #KNESWOFeministInitiative

Let’s stand in solidarity with our sisterhood organization, LEHA, as they host the SRH GALA on 14th February 2026. Together, we amplify voices, protect rights, and strengthen access to sexual and reproductive health for our communities.

My Body, My Decision. We affirm SRHR for refugee & migrant sex workers in all diversities. We demand stigma-free access to HIV services, contraception, safe abortion, mental health care, and GBV support. Our bodies are not public property. Nothing about us without us. SRHR is a human right. #SRHR

🌍 Why SRHR Matters Refugee & migrant sex workers also deserve dignity, safety, and control over their bodies.
