Abstract

The condition of sex-workers in India is extremely poor, and the industry faces several structural barriers. The existing state rehabilitation projects often violate their bodily autonomy and act as moral discipliners, leaving them vulnerable to violence. Shriya Patnaik discusses the core issues whilst also throwing light on grassroots-level movements advocating their inclusion into society.
