KENYA-VIOLENCE-SEX-WORKER
Kenyan sex workers chant "stop killing us" on September 10, 2014, outside the offices of the Independent Police Oversight Authority, where they demanded audience to file a report against police officers whom they claimed had murdered one of their colleagues in a city suburb recently. The police force in Kenya is facing mounting accusations around the country of harrasment, assault and torture of commercial sex workers coupled with scant investigations into the deaths of prostitutes that have risen in frequency in the last few years according to the Kenya Sex Workers Association (KESWA). "We want the Government to decriminalize sex work. If sex work is decriminalized that’s the only option to avert such killings," KESWA’s representative John Mathenge appealed during a demonstration in Kenya's industrial town of Thika (50 kilometres north of Nairobi) late last year while protesting the killing of yet another sex worker.
