In December 2017, Beatrice Mwika Mwikali, a sex worker in Nairobi, made Sh80,000 in 23 days. That was a few weeks before his hot spot, Simmers, was suddenly demolished.

Today, the 31-year-old mother of three along with 200 other sex workers in Nairobi are ‘counting serious losses’. The sex workers traditionally operated around Simmers in the heart of the city centre, until it was demolished on March 3, 2018
