"RELUCTANT sex workers_004"
Grace is 32 years old, a widowed sex worker. There has been a cholera epidemic and she has been acutely affected. Her husband died of the AIDS virus when she was pregnant but unfortunately she did not receive the mother to child prevention drugs and all of her family are HIV+. She said the only reason I survive is because my neighbours are good samaritans and take pity on my condition. Life is very hard, there is no escape.
