Auntie has this brief report on prostitutes in India, and the steps they are taking to protect themselves. With some reservations about how they are training, I think this is a wonderfully positive step. Sex workers are at significantly increased risk of assault, and this seems especially so in India, where the police are far less enlightened than those in the UK. Steps to enable these ladies to protect themselves are something I welcome wholeheartedly.
This also reminds me of the Gulabi Gang in northen India.
