Who We Are
Founded in New Amsterdam, Berbice, GVPA is driven by and for sex workers in Guyana. We believe that every person deserves dignity, respect, access to services, and freedom from stigma and discrimination — regardless of how they earn a living.
We work alongside communities, not just for them — building power from within and challenging the systems that create exclusion.
