Give sex workers loans, houses: Senators

SENATORS have called on the government to provide capital, loans and stands for sex workers, highlighting that dire living conditions in the trade are putting children’s welfare at risk.

The senators were debating a motion on the Report of the HIV/Aids Committee on Access to HIV/Aids and Sexual Reproductive Health Services by sex workers in Zimbabwe presented by chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on HIV and Aids, Angeline Tongogara.

In her contribution, Tongogara said findings from nationwide consultations revealed that sex workers were struggling to provide their families decent shelter.
