Hundreds of Commercial Sex Workers Receive Financial Aid and Health Screening

Hundreds of commercial sex workers in Bo have been given cash grants and free health checks in a new initiative designed to improve access to medical care. Organisers say the project aims to help vulnerable groups while encouraging regular testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
Alongside the financial support, health teams carried out screenings and ran awareness sessions on disease prevention and early treatment. The goal is to tackle the unique health challenges faced by these workers and ensure they get the care they need.
