Stories From Patients & Staff

For sex workers in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, access to medical and psychological care has been limited by social stigma and lack of services. Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) San Pedro Sula clinic provides comprehensive care in a supportive environment, from which women feel empowered to positively influence their communities.   

Transgender women seeking asylum in Greece need access to sexual and reproductive healthcare that responds to their needs without discrimination.  

Gloria Mwambazi knows the importance of building up other women. As community engagement technical capacity manager, Gloria works with female sex worker-led community-based organisations to empower participants as part of a Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)-supported project in Malawi. For her, leadership starts with a vision that's shared with others. 

Gloria's story is part of our coverage of women in leadership in MSF for International Women's Day.
