Harm Reduction Program for
Sex Workers at Risk for STIs and
Violence
Development of a Harm Reduction Program
This project is about a harm reduction program designed to support sex workers who face a higher risk of STIs and violence. It focuses on making healthcare and safety resources easier to access, along with providing prevention tools and support in a respectful, nonjudgmental way. The goal is to reduce harm while recognizing the real challenges sex workers deal with and helping connect them to care, education, and protection when they need it.

What I learned
Working on this project with my group helped me understand how important it is to work well with your teammates and create a positive environment together. Because we already knew each other, we were able to communicate openly, share ideas easily, and approach the project with a good attitude. This made the whole process smoother and more enjoyable. I realized how much a supportive and comfortable environment can boost everyone’s energy and improve the quality of the work we produce. Through this experience, I learned how effective teamwork, clear communication, and mutual respect can make a big difference not just in the final project, but in how confident and motivated I felt while working on it.
