As background: the CDC has often lumped HIV/STI/sexual violence victimization stats from trans women into stats with MSM. Do you collect statistics? If so, how do you ensure that trans women's experiences are reflected as part of women's experiences, especially if you report to agencies above you that may not care about the distinction?
How do you address experiences of sexual violence among your target population? I work in a DV shelter/rape crisis center and I've tried recently to do some outreach with sex worker populations in my city, but found it very challenging to address SV as it seems to be accepted as par for the course by those in the industry.
