The report of the sex worker meeting in Pattaya in October of last year is out, almost six months after the meeting took place. There are some good recommendations that need to be implemented. Myanmar's country plan includes:

• Train peer workers and service providers
• Access to essential drugs
• Resources for sex worker programs and organizations
• Sex worker participation in CCM
• Training on ART in prisons
• ART for migrant sex workers
• Set up cross border services
• Set up telephone help centre
• Raise awareness on effects of antitrafficking laws
• Promote ILO labour standard
• Study and change harmful laws, policy and practice
• Stop using condoms as evidence to arrest sex workers
• Stop arresting sex workers to fill quota
• Study violence against sex workers
• Include ending violence in HIV programmes
• National dialogue on violence and sex work

Who is responsible for implementation? Who will monitor implementation?
