The varying impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on different populations has brought into focus the pre-existing inequalities which shape vulnerabilities amongst marginalised and key populations. More nuanced approaches which understand intersectional vulnerabilities and differential impacts of the pandemic on gender and sexuality diversity within these groups are required. We investigated the economic, social and health impacts of COVID-19 on young people of diverse genders and sexualities who sell sex (16-24 years) in Zimbabwe. We found that all groups had heightened vulnerability to economic and social hardship during the first two COVID waves in Zimbabwe. However, vulnerability was unequally distributed by geography and socio-economic position, as well as by gender and age, both within and between groups of participants. With limited funding resources for the promotion of sexual and reproductive health and rights in the push for universal health coverage, nuanced approaches which include analysis of multidimensional vulnerabilities between and within groups is required to develop the most cost effective and impactful policy and programme interventions
