Magoshas left hanging
The coronavirus has affected almost all industries in the world and s.e.x workers were not spared.
In a bid to bring solid support to s.e.x workers, the government in India promised to provide a Covid-19 relief fund to keep them going.
According to Hindustan Times, a total of 1 715 s.e.x workers from Pune, India have now claimed that they have not received any cent from the government, which was promised to them at least nine months ago.
The publication reported that as per a Supreme Court ruling, which dates back to 21 September 2020, each worker was expected to get 15 000 rupees (about R2888,45) as a relief measure.
A non-governmental organization called Saheli Sangh has since tried to follow up on the matter as many magoshas are struggling to make ends meet during this difficult time.
The director of the NGO, Tejaswi Sevekari, said: “We conducted a survey to find out how many women were yet to benefit from this state scheme and found a number of s.e.x workers are totally deprived of the government aid.”
