Albania: Round table on human rights for sex workers

“We will present our findings and activities for the last two years in the field of sex work. A final publication will also follow that meeting” – says Genci Mucollari from Aksion Plus.

 
“Being a member of the SWAN for the last two years was a very positive experience as we learned a lot. But not only that – we have started and implemented many small actions to help sex workers in Albania. Because of these interventions we are currently supported by UNICEF (Mapping and harm reduction and services for young sex workers). GFATM is supporting some of our activities for the most vulnerable groups, including sex workers.

 
Our latest activities are related to a Behavioral Surveillance with MSM, sex workers and drug users which is conducted in collaboration with the Institute of Public Health; in our center we are collecting stories with police and human right violations from the lives of sex workers”
– says Mucollari.

"We went about it with joy and good humor, if you will, we played on the fact that we were police officers, we negotiated prices by saying: How much is it for the police? Where do you come from? What is your age?"… "Most of the time, we were under the effect of alcohol, under the effect of the group. It was known about and tolerated by the hierarchy."
