Denge led SWEAT through the August 2015 launch in Cape Town of the Asijiki Coalition for the Decriminalisation of Sex Work, where she delivered a speech.

You are discriminated against for your sexual identity, you are discriminated against for your work, and you are discriminated against of your HIV status."
She spoke out also against emotional abuse and police brutality, noting that the police confiscated sex workers' condoms.
