#ASAPConversationDuringCovid Ep 3
We spoke to Executive Director of Saheli Sangh, Tejaswi Severkari who has been working as a facilitator for the only sex workers’ collective in Pune for the past 23 years. Sharing the kind of hardships being faced by the community during #Covid19 , she also spoke about the issues that existed before the pandemic, particularly with the stigma, but also the need to disassociate sex work with human trafficking or HIV and decriminalizing the profession which many women chose and depend on, for their livelihood.
