Malkia, meaning “Queen” in Swahili, provides a safe space for women in prostitution to be equipped, educated, and strengthened as role models that restore hope to their workplaces. Serving women ages 13-30 from informal settlements, Malkia aims to see women in prostitution drive the process of reform, rehabilitation, and ownership over their lives. Because women in prostitution are subjected to stigmatization in their communities, they are victimized, rejected, and shamed to a point of self-loathing. Many of the women in our program were raped as children and forced into prostitution to support their families. We named this program “Malkia” to refer to them as Queens-hoping to restore their dignity, helping them believe in their transformation, and encouraging them to embrace their beauty.
