- Abstract
"We are concerned that the original April 2007 draft of the Guidance Note is not well grounded in human rights principles or in solid programmatic or policy experience. It also results from a process in which sex workers were not meaningfully engaged. This commentary outlines a number of concerns and makes concrete recommendations for improvements toward policy and program guidance that is truly based on human rights and evidence."
