About Mothers for the Future
Mothers for the Future” (M4F) was founded in 2013. M4F is a programme that supports mothers who do sex work by providing a safe space as well as knowledge sharing, skills building, stigma reduction in addition to advocating for the decriminalisation of sex work. This programme illustrates that access to healthcare cannot be addressed in isolation from the broader social justice struggles. Through the use of a number of methodologies and tools M4F attempts to create integrated support that ranges from addressing urgent short-term needs such as accessing toiletries, medication, school fees etc. and the more long term goal of law reform and decriminalising sex work. M4F is a powerful example of the efficacy of sex worker led interventions and how providing holistic support to mothers, can result in better overall health outcomes for their children.
