About us
We work to protect & promote the rights of male sex workers in Uganda
SIU was founded in 2014 to mobilize, coordinate and bring uniformed voices of male sex workers to contribute to building a progressive sex work movement in Uganda. While there existed LGBTI organizations, consortiums and networks and sex work organizations in their diversity in Uganda like female sex work led organizations, transgender women sex work led organizations and others, there was no specific organization or group that was majorly targeting and led by male sex work to present male sex work issues in different forums.
Our Vision
A fair and just society in which male sex workers freely exercise their health and human rights responsibilities.
Our Mission
To improve the well-being of male sex workers through advocacy, socio-economic empowerment and access to sexual reproductive health services.
