UNAIDS collects the experiences of Ángela Villón Bustamante and Alejandra Fang, activists in Peru. Both promoted community responses after experiencing violence and discrimination.
The report describes the participation of sex worker organizations in training for the police and in rights defense initiatives. Their proposals show the value of affected people participating in the changes they need.
Listening to those who experience discrimination helps change institutions.
