Indian Supreme Court rules that women in #prostitution should not be criminalized, harassed, discriminated or have their children removed. Good! But still need to make exit programs available and work on decreasing demand which is the cause of exploitation telegraphindia.com/india/prostitu…
From this article it appears that sex trafficking victims in India are forced into what sounds like re-education homes which they cannot leave for years. This practice needs to end. And reliably differenting exploited persons from voluntary sex sellers remains a pipe dream.
It appears the Indian Supreme Court plans to cast prostitution as a job (though brothel keeping is currently still illegal) which will decrease (though not eliminate) police violence but is inadequate to combat john and pimp violence where victim testimony remains hard to come by
For as long as millions of Indian women are condemned to prostitution (if not by pimps then poverty) there'll be no female liberation. #sexwork ideology sells the lie that men can commodify women's bodies and respect them. Any engagement with john mentality will prove this wrong.
