‘Simama’ is a Swahili word for ‘stand up/rise up.’

The campaign focused on criminalisation in 8 areas:
adult sex work, abortion, adolescent sexuality, adultery/consensual sex outside of marriage, same-sex sexual activity, gender identity and expression, HIV non-disclosure, exposure, and transmission and personal possession and use of drugs.

criminalisation and the importance of challenging criminalisation across the continent." ... See MoreSee Less
