EVENT DATE : 21 MARCH 2021
Prostitution has been an age old trend in the Indian society and no one can today can even find out the approximate date from when this profession came into existence. It is claimed that it has been a part of our society even before Christ came into existence. Though surprising, it is still true that prostitution has still not got any specific legal recognition in our country. One can say it is neither legal nor illegal in the country.
To look at this issue from different views, we have brought a group of reputed experts, activists, academicians and psychologists with direct experience. Organizations involved at the grassroots levels such as Kranti, Kat-Katha and MSC will be putting forth their view on the matter. We firmly believe it is critical to include the perspectives of sex workers themselves. The President of National Network of Sex Workers (NNSW) and one of the members of Veshya Anyay Mukti Parishad (VAMP) will be representing the voice of the sex workers.
