Summary:
more-inWith the Kerala State Aids Control Society (KSACS) trying to bring some of the sex workers in the district into the Kudumbasree fold, two exclusive Kudumbasree neighbourhood groups for sex workers were formed in the district recently. Ten former sex workers have come forward to join the Kudumbasree fold as a means of seeking out alternative employment opportunities. A tailoring unit may also work out,” said Kudumbasree District Mission Coordinator Kavitha P.C. Though the two groups have expressed interest in the catering business, the Kudumbasree District Mission plans to provide them orientation on other possible vocations as well. Once the first two groups take off, we plan to concentrate on them,” said Kudumbasree gender resource person Rajitha, who has also been instrumental in setting up the transgender neighbourhood groups in the district..
