EMPOWERING SEX WORKERS.PROMOTING DIGNITY FOR ALL.
Standing with thoseseeking safety & justice.
Survivors Busia is a grassroots, sex worker-led organization operating at the Kenya–Uganda border to defend human rights, heal trauma, and restore dignity.
We address gender-based violence, cross-border insecurity, economic marginalization, and legal barriers by offering holistic support, legal advocacy, safe havens, and community-driven empowerment.
Advocating for Health &Commodities Access in Busia
In a special broadcast by Citizen TV Kenya, the spotlight is turned on the rising HIV infection rates in Busia County and the critical shortage of health commodities, PrEP, and STI treatment in integrated facilities.
“Right now we don't have commodities — we don't have condoms, we don't have STI drugs. We are calling on the national government under NASCOP to ensure these essential commodities are available across integrated facilities.”
Situated along a major cross-border transit corridor, community-led intervention in Busia is vital not only locally, but across the wider region. Our advocacy focuses on ensuring vulnerable populations receive timely screening, care, and continuous health supplies.

“What Survivors of Busia has built at the border is some of the most instrumental grassroots work happening in the sex worker rights space in Kenya today. Busia isn't an easy place to organise — it's a crossing point, where women move in and out with the rhythms of trade and survival, often without documentation or safety nets. This team stepped into that gap and built a consistent, trusted presence for sex workers navigating both Kenyan and cross-border realities — centring migrant and mobile sex workers who so often fall through the cracks of programming built for fixed, urban populations. This work deserves recognition, and it deserves sustained investment.”
