Using relational, feminist, and system-oriented design, a rich design methodology combined cultural probes, vignette studies, and giga mapping unc toovered issues of service fragmentation, stigma, and digital exclusion. A co-created digital tool offering anonymous, centralized access to health, legal, and support services. An added speculative concept imagines a sex worker union to allow for radical change. Findings highlight trust, inclusion, and co-agency, positioning design as a catalyst for social justice.
