What are the two main challenges that the sex workers you work with face

Manque de reconnaissance juridique des groupes des travailleuses de sexe: Au Burundi, les travailleuses du sexe ne sont pas légalement reconnues. Elles sont victimes des violences sexuelles impunies. Ceci entraine un travail clandestin.
Discrimination socio-religieuse: La société burundaise n'est pas tolérante au travail du sexe. Ce ci est à la base de la disrcimination qui réduit l'accès aux services de base, notamment la santé et la justice.
Lack of legal recognition of groups of sex workers : in Burundi, female sex workers are not legally recognised. They go through unpunished sexual violence. This drives work underground. Socio-religious discrimination : society in Burundi is not tolerating sex work. This is the basis for discrimination which reduces access to basic services such as health and legal services.
