Kenyan fishmongers of the 'No Sex for Fish' cooperative, who defied sexual exploitation to build their business, face new hardships. Flooding devastated their village and disrupted their fishing. Eleven members are HIV-positive, and recent U.S. aid cuts have reduced their access to antiretroviral drugs, causing anxiety and uncertainty about their health.

The women are relying on informal support systems to cope while hoping for future assistance.
