This World AIDS Day episode created with PYWV under the Sauti Moja Alliance in partnership with SWOP, brings together a SWOP representative, a male sex worker and a female sex worker to discuss HIV stigma, GBV and barriers to safe, non-judgmental health care.

This conversation highlights daily realities in communities like Kariobangi and Dandora, the support SWOP provides, and the need for solidarity, safety and justice for all sex workers.

Policies often look progressive on paper, but what happens when implementation falls short?

Hideout podcast in partnership with Y+ Global had a sit down with young people to share how decisions made at the top connect or fail to connect with everyday struggles in their communities.

We ask: what does it take to move from promises to practice and how can lived experiences be woven into policymaking?

This conversation sheds light on why policies are only as good as their implementation and how bridging the gap between leaders and young people requires trust, accountability and genuine co-creation.

This is a continuation of our podcast episode with Simon Says Maingi and I hope you liked the first part...
