Executive director, Project X

 

For improving the lives of Singapore's sex workers

Through non-profit organisation Project X, Vanessa Ho is trying to end the stigma, discrimination and violence that affect sex workers in Singapore. She does this through outreach, building and empowering communities, documenting human rights violations and dispelling myths about sex work. She helped to establish the Human Rights Defenders Program, which trains current and former sex workers in skills such as digital storytelling, counselling, suicide intervention, project management and financial literacy.
