Sex Workers Tie Rakhis to Policemen in Gujarat

One of the most difficult issues faced by the Commercial Sex Workers has been the harassment and the insensitive behavior on part of the police personnel. On the day of ‘Rakshabandhan’ about 150 CSW’s of ‘Sakhijyot’ - a CSW co-operative visited 29 stations and tied rakhis to more than 400 police personnel. The police force claiming that a lot of them unaware of the problems faced by commercial sex workers are now committed to increased cooperation and sensitivity towards them.
