"Sex workers face many challenges in Zambia because of the perceptions and myths surrounding the existence of the profession and choice of work" (para 8). "All sex workers experience stigma and discrimination, though this manifests differently for the different ‘sub groups’ of sex workers from the communities where they live and places of work. Parallel programming that aims to ‘reform’ sex workers further stigmatises and makes sex workers more vulnerable to abuse, beatings and hate speech. This seems to be most hostile towards the street and bar-based sex workers. Families of sex workers are also highly discriminated by association and living with them" (para 9).
