Many sex workers avoid visiting hospitals due to shame, fear of being judged, or lack of privacy. This project will set up an anonymous online platform where they can chat with doctors about their health concerns. They will get private advice on STIs, family planning, mental health, and other medical needs. The service will work on simple phones and in local languages. This will give them a safe way to talk to a doctor without leaving their space.
Sex workers often face judgment or mistreatment when they seek medical care. They worry about being exposed, denied care, or harassed by health staff. Some do not know where to get safe services and avoid clinics completely. This leads to untreated infections, unwanted pregnancies, and mental health issues. Without private and trusted care, their health continues to suffer in silence.
It will offer a private chat service where sex workers can talk with trained doctors. The service will be simple to use on low-end phones, without needing full names. Doctors will respond to health concerns in local languages without asking personal details. The chat will include advice on STIs, pregnancy care, and mental stress. This gives them a quiet and safe space to ask questions and get help quickly.
Users will get faster help, reduce risky health delays, and gain medical knowledge. They can treat infections early, avoid harmful self-medication, and feel safer. This may also reduce pressure on clinics and prevent wider public health risks. The system can grow to help more people in hidden or unsafe jobs. In due time, it builds trust and gives them a tool to take care of their health privately.
