Members of the sex-trade survivor group - Kwanele have gathered to call for an end to the exploitation of women and girls.  

Lee went missing from outside her place of work in Durban North in January last year - her badly burnt body was found in a sugar cane field in New Hanover - days later.  

The businessman accused of her murder is due in court for a pre-trial conference today.  

These women who are picketing outside, say they want justice for Lee.

They're appealing to the government to do more to help vulnerable women who have no choice but to turn to sex work.
