Hi, my name is Ntokozo Sibahle Yingwana.
I recently graduated from the African Centre for Migration & Society (ACMS, at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa) with a PhD in Migration and Displacement Studies.
I hold a Masters in Gender and Development from the Institute of Development Studies (IDS, at the University of Sussex in England), funded by the Chevening UK Scholarship. Prior to joining ACMS I worked for IDS as the Content Coordinator for the Open Knowledge and Digital Services Unit.
My experience and skills are in journalism, online media, advocacy, open access/knowledge and research. I freelance as an Online Media Consultant, Digital-storytelling Trainer, and Researcher.
However, my main passion lies in gender, sexuality and sex worker rights’ activism in Africa. In the past I have worked for the Sex Workers Education and Advocacy Taskforce (SWEAT), the African Sex Worker Alliance (ASWA), and the Global Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP).
