Equality for People and Dignity (EPaD) is a grassroots organization based in Lilongwe, Malawi, we are dedicated to advancing the rights and dignity of sex workers in Malawi. We believe that sex work is formal work, and we strive to create an environment where sex workers are respected, protected, and empowered. Our efforts focus on advocacy, community support, and providing referrals to essential health services.
EPaD connects sex workers to vital health services, ensuring they receive the care they need while maintaining their dignity and safety.
In addition to health referrals, EPaD provides a range of support services aimed at improving the overall well-being of sex workers.
Our outreach teams work directly with sex workers in the community, providing on-the-spot services, building trust, and raising awareness about EPaD's programs.
EPaD has expanded its referral network, ensuring that AGYW sex workers have access to comprehensive healthcare, legal support, and counselling services across Lilongwe.
In a major victory for sex workers' rights, EPaD\’s advocacy efforts have led to proposed legal reforms that would recognize sex work as formal work and provide protections against discrimination and violence.
EPaD will be hosting a series of events to mark the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. Join us for a march, panel discussions, and a candlelight vigil in honour of those lost to violence.
