Rubi Lama
Rubi Lama is a former HIV prevention outreach worker in Nepal who, after losing her job due to funding cuts from USAID, has been forced to turn to sex work to survive. For nine years, she worked to help sex workers access HIV testing and treatment, but now finds herself in the precarious position of searching for clients on the streets she once patrolled as a worker.
