Serbia: JAZAS drop-in center for sex workers introduces new fun activities

Since the beginning of 2009, the drop-in center for sex workers, which is run by JAZAS, SWAN member from Serbia, has successfully introduced new activities.

Since the New Year, there has been a significant increase in sex workers who visit the drop-in center. This increase in visits has enabled JAZAS to put to fruition new programs, such as English and Italian language lessons and fitness. These language courses are aimed at providing sex workers with conversational language skills and they also serve to create an atmosphere of learning and cohesion.

During fitness lessons, sex workers have the opportunity to work on flexibility, muscle tone and weight loss, but also learn about the importance of physical fitness, how to stay in shape and how to keep healthy.

Also, the drop-in center visitors have started working on ideas about their own community newsletter. So keep your eyes open for the coming issue!
