AFRO is an organisation providing services and support to female sex workers working in Hong Kong. We offer an environment of openness and sincerity where sex workers can turn in times of need. Our services include outreach visits, a drop-in centre, a hotline, referrals for health or legal consultation and social services. We also actively promote health and rights education. Through our peer education programme, we also encourage and facilitate sex workers to build up their own support networks.
To strive for a just and equal society, we promote public education aiming to facilitate communication and mutual understanding between sex workers and the general public. We aim to eliminate prejudices and misunderstanding, and to arouse concern and support to sex workers. We are also engaged in research and advocacy. We conduct study and critique of government policies, practices and laws surrounding the sex industry, advocate for sex workers’ rights and work towards decriminalisation of sex work in the long run.
