We have also been actively carrying out street outreach and rehabilitation referral and support services for female sex workers (circumstantial vulnerable women) as well as follow up therapeutic services following their graduation from the FCT/SDS/Society Against Prostitution and Child Labour in Nigeria (SAP-CLN) rehabilitation program to promote alternative positive source of income/livelihood for participating female sex workers and prevent/minimize their return to the street. We recently facilitated health outreach for female sex workers in collaboration with African Disease Prevention and Research Initiative funded by National Agency for the control of Aids (NACA).
