12/06/2020 - Senegal / Dakar / Dakar - Colette (first name has been changed), 38, has been receiving clients since 2009 in this small room in a popular district of Dakar.
In a brothel in Dakar, four sex workers help each other through the ordeals, together. From morning to night, it is in two small rooms of an insanitary building that they receive their customers, share them and protect each other. Once back home, living in the same hallway, the four single mothers continue to stick together to support their families who do not know their real job. This solidarity is all the more important in these times of coronavirus when they are particularly precarious and exposed.
One of them is even an "educator pair", and strives to raise awareness in her community. Fieldwork with the support of an association created in 2008 by a former prostitute, who has become a figure in the struggle for the rights of sex workers in Senegal. Strong in character, she stopped working in the streets to "protect the girls". Mediator for HIV prevention for years in the hospital, she preferred to resign to devote herself to the advocacy of her association, and to change the law to give more rights to sex workers.
