Research within the context of sex work is challenging. The nature of the subject matter and stigma that surrounds sex work has often privileged a homogenous, academic practice of generating knowledge. Based on the lessons and experiences of an existing sex work programme and a recently completed national public health study with female sex workers (FSWs) in South Africa, we aim to highlight the significance and successes of privileging a bottom-up, community centric approach to the design, data collection, and knowledge generation. A FSW programme provided extensive peer educator skills training and learning opportunities. Lessons were applied to the implementation of a national study on FSW across South Africa. Planning workshops with community members and sites and pre- implementation training of all site staff was undertaken. 3005 FSWs were successfully enrolled and surveyed by their peers, over 6-months. Researchers have a lot to learn from community members and should remain vigilant to the power dynamics that their privilege creates throughout the research process. Those seeking to generate knowledge should practice meaningfully engagement and include population members on the study team in roles that allow them to proactively contribute to the process and create knowledge.
