WITNESS staffers Ryan Kautz and Violeta Krasnic just returned from Macedonia, where they conducted a week-long video advocacy training with the Healthy Options Project - Skopje (HOPS), a local organization that works to protect and promote the rights of sex workers.  This video is a quick recap of their trip and of the work HOPS will be continuing in the next couple of months, which includes a video advocacy campaign aimed at reducing violence against sex workers committed both by law enforcement officials as well as by third parties. 

Watch Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, and Day 4 of the trainings in Macedonia here.  To learn more about the rights of sex workers, read this post by Violeta.  And to delve deeper into the world of video advocacy, check out our toolkit and training resources.
