Abstract:
In 2013 I received an award from an international women’s group. The money could be used for whatever purposes I thought fit to further women’s empowerment. I used this award to start a dialogue with a group of sex workers, women who had undergone abortion, HIV positive women and LGBT. The purpose was to study stigma, but also to look into the difficulties and possibiities of cross movement solidarities. I would like to share some of the results of our conversations and some of the questions that arise from this.
