That is our situation in Slovakia. The “Cerveny dazdnik” (Red Umbrella) Program is without funding since the beginning of 2010 and it seems, that there will still be no other options for funding to apply for later this year. Given this situation, we decided to try and fundraise at the 2010 AIDS Conference. We are selling T-shirts (and maybe also buttons and posters) with pictures from last year’s safer sex campaign, where sex workers served as role models.

We hope to sell enough material to be able to cover the costs of this year’s campaign against violence against sex workers (December 17th). If we succeed in raising more money, all of it will be used for the sex workers program.
