In Zimbabwe, the Covid-19 pandemic has hit people in marginalised groups very hard, particularly sex workers and those living with HIV. The national lockdown imposed by the government left many unable to access life-saving drugs, as their movements were limited. This included the 400 HIV positive sex workers in the mining village of Mashava, who have been by loaned bicycles by local volunteers to help them make the trip to collect their medicine. Dorcas Mbiri describes what a difference this has made to her life.
