Movimiento de Mujeres (MoDeMu).
An organisation for sexual workers in Santo Domingo.

This NGO consists of former and current Dominican sex workers, both inside and outside of the country. MODEMU was created in 1996 after the first national congress of female sex workers was held in the Dominican Republic in 1995. Its main objectives are to promote the human rights of commercial sex workers (including health, social, and labor rights), to fight against trafficking, and to promote the human rights of trafficked women who have returned to the Dominican Republic.
