Government urged to legalise sex trade
Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: A free stitching and tailoring programme was organised at G.B. Road here for sex workers on the occasion of International Women’s Day. Welcoming the move, Bhartiya Patita Uddhar Sabha has asked the Government to legalise the profession of sex workers so that they can earn their livelihood and save themselves from the atrocities .
The Sabha said they should be given licence to carry on their profession in the red light area till the profession was legalised.
Besides advocating that sex workers must be imparted adult education in the red light area, the Sabha has urged the Government to earmark a few rooms in all hospitals of the country and deploy mobile dispensaries for treatment of sex workers and their children. Expressing concern over the spread of AIDS, it has also called for adequate supply of condoms in the red light area.
To enable sex workers to raise their voice in Parliament and in courts, the Sabha has suggested that sex workers be brought under the purview of Labour Act.
