Trusted to Lead

This story of change captures three years of impact from the Indonesia Healthy Cities with Pride programme, where young LGBTIQ+ communities led their own solutions to stigma, discrimination, and barriers to HIV and sexual health services. Through participatory grantmaking, more than 130 youth‑led organisations across 11 cities took on decision‑making roles and shaped interventions rooted in lived experience. The change story highlights how trust, flexibility, and capacity strengthening unlock sustainable, community‑driven change at both local and national level.

Direitos Humanos para Todos!

Este relatório apresenta dados sobre violações dos direitos humanos contra mulheres, homens e transgéneros trabalhadores de sexo, documentadas entre Novembro de 2024 e Dezembro de 2025 no âmbito do programa Hands Off. Durante este período, foram eportados 2.917 casos por trabalhadores de sexo em Moçambique, Zimbábue, Eswatini, Angola, África do Sul e Zâmbia. As informações foram recolhidas por educadores de pares, defensores dos direitos humanos, paralegais, equipas de resposta a crises e trabalhadores de sexo. Todos eles desempenham um papel vital na prestação de apoio em toda a região. Quando um(a) trabalhador(a) de sexo procura assistência, o incidente é registado utilizando software seguro e confidencial para garantir a privacidade e a precisão. Embora este relatório forneça informações importantes, ele captura apenas um instantâneo da realidade enfrentada pelos trabalhadores de sexo. Os dados reflectem casos documentados nos locais de implementação do Hands Off, o que significa que muitas violações permanecem invisíveis e não registadas. Por detrás de cada estatística está uma pessoa cujos direitos fundamentais foram violados. Um lembrete poderoso de que estes números contam apenas parte da história.

Human Rights for All!

This report presents data on human rights violations against female, male and transgender sex workers documented between November 2024 and December 2025 under the Hands Off programme. During this period, 2.917 cases were reported by sex workers across Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Eswatini, Angola, South Africa, and Zambia. Information was collected by peer educators, human rights defenders, paralegals, crisis response teams, and sex workers. They all play a vital role in providing support throughout the region. When a sex worker seeks assistance, the incident is recorded using secure and confidential software to ensure privacy and accuracy. While this report provides important insights, it captures only a snapshot of the realities sex workers face. The data reflects cases documented within Hands Off implementation sites, meaning many violations remain unseen and unrecorded. Behind every statistic is a person whose fundamental rights have been violated. A powerful reminder that these numbers tell only part of the story.

Participatory Grantmaking in Practice

At the heart of the Love Alliance is the commitment to participatory grantmaking, a methodology that shifts power and resources from those who hold the money to those who benefit from funding. Participatory grantmaking involves communities in all aspects of grantmaking, from application to decision-making. The process is open, simple, and transparent, helping to build social movements and making funding more accessible to underserved populations. By shifting power and decision making on where resources go directly to communities, participatory grantmaking ensures that funding priorities and strategies are informed by lived experience, indigenous knowledge and local context.
