Tawa members conducted a training held 26-30th May 2012,participated by female commercial sex workers( FCSWs)from Dar es salaam region.The aim was to equip the participants with knowledge and information on STI,s ,HIV/AIDS and human rights issues.Due to the risk that commercial sex workers have to HIV /AIDS and regarded as most at risk population (MARPS),the need of providing the information and knowledge was very essential to the them.

   During the training we had various discussions and some issues came up ,which led Tawa members to engage with the research work(non academic).Sooner after the training we visited 6 different places in 3 municipals of Dar es salaam(Kinondoni ,Temeke and Ilala).Following Tawa,s  research we found Temeke municipal is at high risks to HIV/AIDS compared to others especially to young female/girls between 12-17years.In Tandika area at " BUBUBU" street and Mbagala rangi Tatu we found young girls who are doing commercial sex activities ,have the written words in the house wall as a business advatiziment(MKUNDU BUKU CHA JERO HAKIKOSEKANI)means Anal sex for one thousand and of course you can,t miss services if you have five hundred shillings.
