‘Women are having to sell sex for fish’: Head of ActionAid Zambia on USAID cuts

The director of ActionAid Zambia has spoken to FRANCE 24 about the dire conditions women are facing in the country because of cuts to USAID. This as the organisation is officially wound down, ending billions of dollars’ worth of aid programmes across the world. In Zambia, the cuts mean women are having to sell sex to men in order to be able to go fishing to feed themselves and their families. Faides TembaTemba spoke to us from the UN Conference on Financing for Development in the Spanish city of Seville.
