west bengal polls sex workers in kolkata sonagachhi seek voting rights
Rising Bengal News Bureau: In the poll-bound state, where attacks, clashes, and violence were reported from many places, the polls brought unrest to many areas.
Not a story, but a fact, a fact On the occasion of the elections in the year XXI, the society got a chance to hear a slightly different but very basic demand No, this demand is not an illegal demand, it is a fair demand The only demand is that they be given the "right to vote.

" But to a section of the society, this demand seems to be an illegal demand. This is only because this demand is heard from the familiar but lost lane of Kolkata, " Sonagachi " It is to be noted that this " Sonagachi" in Kolkata, West Bengal is one of the largest "red light" areas in Asia.

It is pertinent to mention that the sex workers of Sonagachi do not have proper documents, even voter cards In this regard, Putul Singh, General Secretary of the Durbar Community said, "After years of living in Kolkata, we have been denied the right to vote and for the same reason we do not have voter cards.

We cannot vote Only a few of us have got voter cards after meeting the Election Commission and the state government But, my question is, why this discrimination? We have only three demands, first, that all sex workers be given the right to vote Second, that we be given respect and be treated equally as other citizens of the country.

Third, that the goons should stop torturing us in the name of charity " He added, " We will only vote for the one who will fulfill some of our basic demands ".

It is worth noting that these demands from sex workers did not come suddenly this year For years, they have been demanding their right to vote, to have employment opportunities, to have a life of dignity But, come vote, come vote, there is no permanent solution to their problems.
It may be noted that the West Bengal elections will be held from March 27 to April 29 and the results will be declared on May 2.
