The story in pictures at one of our workshops
A husband decides to cheat on the wife. When the wife finds out the husband beats her and chases her out of the house. With no one to turn to and nowhere to go, she finds shelter in the house of a sex worker. She was introduced to sex work and the consequences were more than she could bear.View the 'The story in pictures at one of our workshops' gallery »

Workshops for pre-service teachers - Lilongwe and Emmanuel Teacher Training Colleges, Malawi
These images were taken during TTC workshops in which two main themes were explored:- the use of eye contact, voice and body language in effectively saying no to sex, and
- the issues surrounding society's expectations of the participants as men and women, and how these expectations increase their risk of HIV infection.
Experiential learning techniques were used to explore these issues with the participants. Some of these activities are shown here in this gallery, and include:
- Song,
- Role Play,
- Touch Tag,
- Brainstorming,
- Group Discussion and
- Sculpting.

Theatre for a Change, by Richard Woods
Richard Woods is a professional photographer who spent a month with Theatre for a Change, working with young people at The Community Theatre Centre (CTC) in Jamestown and the Liberian Refugee Camp in Buduburam. These are projects in communites that are economically and socially marginalised.
Theatre for a Change creates a platform for young people to explore their experiences, especially around sex, gender and power, and to make interactive theatre performances out of their stories. The performances are then shown to the local community, on the beach, in the market and in schools. When they have seen the show, audiences are invited in to the acting area to show how they think the characters' behaviour could be changed for a more positive outcome to the story. It's a rehearsal for reality, and a form that the communities have made their own.
Thanks to Richard for his wonderful work with the team. You can also listen to podcasts from Jamestown and Buduburam
