Issues related to drugs, sex and other types of abuse. SWE/SWCCP/CCSEW/M22 by Ms. Aruna Gajbhiye Quadrant 1 1. Introduction: The sex trade is growing in India. Women and girls are forced into this trade. One can fiund 10 to 12 year old girls on the streets of Red Light areas, in search of customers. There are girls aged 15 to 16 years with children who are also in the business. One study estimates that around 40% of sex workers are children in the red light areas, and most of them are children of commercial sex workers1. Women and girls involved in this trade get pregnant due to unsafe sex and ignorance about contraceptives and STD’s. Very often they are either forced or lured with extra money to have intercourse without condoms. Child birth may not be a pleasant experience for the girls and women due to the unpleasant circumstances. Commercial sex trade is carried on at various places like brothels, apartments, flats, hotels, bars and restaurants, parks, open places like barren land, riversides etc. Brothel keepers or pimps take custody of the children of these women; this gives them a bargaining chip to make the women work harder and longer hours. Difficult situations start for the children since the time of birth, there is no proper feeding time, lack of attention from the mother, poor and unhygienic living conditions, and use of drugs to make them a sleep. These children are exposed to sex, drugs at a very tender age. The exposure of the human body, fighting for customers, etc. is commonplace. Boys have to engage in the trade as a pimps and girls have to engage as service providers in an age when they are not even aware about their biological identity. Children grow in under these conditions and develop a lot of insecurities in relation to their identities and their existence. Through this module learner can develop the ability to analyse the situation and demands of their work conditions. Learners with understanding can develop the modalities for intervention if required. 2. Definition: Sex Worker: is a person who sells her body for the satisfaction of sexual needs of another person. Commercially Sexually Exploited Women: women who are forced to do sex work, for the profit of others. Children of Commercially sexually Exploited women: For this module we consider all the children whose mothers are engaged in the commercial sex trade by force; whether they are living with their mothers or not, whether they are born from marriage or not, and irrespective of their geographical location, whether they are living in the red light area or in another area which is not declare as a red light area. (for this module hereafter we use the term CSEW for Commercially Sexually Exploited Women) 1 http://www.admcf.org/projects/support-of-children-of-commercial-sex-workers-in-mumbai SWE/SWCCP/CCSEW/M22 by Ms. Aruna Gajbhiye Brothel: “Brothel“ includes any house, room, conveyance or place, or any portion of any house, room, conveyance or place, which is used for purposes of sexual exploitation or abuse, for gain of another person, or for the mutual gain of two or more prostitutes.2 Red Light Area: Red Light Areas are ‘Neighbourhood or part of a neighbourhood where businesses connected to the sex trade are located’.3 3. Situational analysis of the children of CSEW: The life of commercial sex workers is a matter of grave concern. Police keep red light areas under surveillance to prevent human trafficking. Raids are periodically conducted to rescue trafficked women who are locked up in brothels. Health of CSEW is another major area of concern. There are many voluntary organizations working with CSEW. The efforts of these organizations are usually aimed at efforts to improve the living condition of CSEW, providing basic facilities for them, organizing them to fight for their basic human rights and to provide medical help to them to deal with infections and diseases. Many HIV/AIDS prevention activities launched by the government revolve around CSEW. There are several CSEW whose children live with them in the red light areas. Children of commercial sex workers are highly vulnerable to all kinds of hazards. All of them come under the category of ‘Children in Need of Care and Protection’. Physical, emotional, SWE/SWCCP/CCSEW/M22 by Ms. Aruna Gajbhiye Children are exposed to brutality, vulgarity, emotional depravity, abusive language and abusive behaviour and the use of intoxicants all the time. They witness their mothers being beaten up, humiliated, sexually abused and arrested by the police. Such an atmosphere seriously hampers healthy psychological growth and normal personality development. Very little attention is paid to the education of children of CSEW. Many schools are unwilling to admit these children due to the stigma attached to their mothers’ occupation. Many a times, their mothers send them to school so that the mothers can attend to their clients unhindered. And such children do not get any educational support or have a supportive environment for studies back home. All these lead to a high dropout rate. 5.4.6. Exposure to Drugs, Alcohol and Sex Trade: Children are introduced to drugs and alcohol in early childhood. Many a times, their mothers themselves sedate them to keep them asleep during their sex work. As they grow up they watch their mothers using intoxicants and imbibe the habit. Some children are used for child pornography and involved in sex trade directly or indirectly to satisfy the sexual needs of the clients. The writer once visited the red light area at Pune and saw a nine year old boy looking for clients for his 48 year old mother, thus working as her agent while his mother was seated in a corner appreciating the boy’s communication skills in convincing customers. Thus, boys become involved in the sex trade, either directly or indirectly as pimps or as trafficking agents. Besides, youth from red light areas usually lack the qualifications and contacts necessary for securing jobs in any other sector. In case of girl children they are groomed to follow in their mother’s footsteps, having no other option, as they are trained from childhood to entertain clients by serving tea/ cold drinks/ alcohol, cigarettes etc, or by dancing in front of them. 3.1.4. Health Issues: Children of commercial sex workers have unattended health concerns since birth. They are not given preventive inoculation against childhood diseases. Most of them also run the risk of contracting skin diseases, sexually transmitted diseases and even HIV infection from their mother. Lack of nutritional food, improper health care and exposure to unhygienic surroundings, together make them highly vulnerable and cause multiple illnesses in them. As compared to boys, it is observed that girls seem to receive better attention towards health, because the brothel keepers see them as potential CSEW and prefer to invest in the upkeep of their bodies. 4. Efforts to minimize the problems of the children of CSEW. There are two specific laws in the context of commercial sex work (prostitution) in India. The first piece of legislation is ‘The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act’1986. This is an amendment of the ‘Suppression of Immoral Traffic Act (SITA), 1956. The second one is ‘The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Amendment Act, 2006’. Though the Immoral Traffic Prevention Act; did not ban sex work in India, many of the aspects related with this trade have been criminalised by this Act, like using any premises as a brothel, living on the earning of prostitution, keeping any person in custody for sex work, recruiting, transporting, transferring, harbouring, or receiving a person for the purpose of prostitution; Detaining a person in the premises where prostitution is carried on; Seduction of a person in custody.

    1 COM 321, Documentary Form in Film & Television Spring 2011 Extra Credit Viewing Opportunities All due at the Final Exam or earlier You may receive up to 2% extra credit for each documentary viewed and analyzed (up to 4% for selected films showing at the Cleveland Cinematheque or the Cleveland Museum of Art, if a ticket stub is attached), to a maximum total of 10%. Documentaries must be from the attached list of approved documentaries. However, there may be additions made later in the term, including some additional Cinematheque or Cleveland Museum of Art viewings. You may propose films or other moving image presentations (e.g., TV, online) to add to the list; if you wish to do so, please write me a note. If approved, I need to extend the offer to the rest of the class. For each documentary viewed, you need to do a little research. Use the Katz Film Encyclopedia or similar source to learn about the main "players" involved in the documentary--the producer(s), director, writer(s), DP/cinematographer (IMDb is not sufficient for such biographical info). Also, try to check out Halliwell's Film Guide, Magill’s Survey of Cinema volumes, or other expanded source regarding the documentary itself. The Katz book is available in the MU 107 projection booth, and Magill’s is in the reference section of the CSU Library. Use your textbooks, too! Some online sources are good, others are bogus.

    12 CHAPTER: 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter introduces the research theme and major concepts used in the study title The major contents of this chapter include the glimpses of sex trade in Surat, Gujarat and India. It also includes typology of sex trade, legal legislations in India and abroad, health issues of sex workers, approaches to sex trade etc. The issue of sex work is an oldest and multi-dimensional for which very less has been done till date. There is no clear internationally accepted definition and law for sex work. Each and every country has its own laws to deal with the issue of Sex work. NGO/Health Service Providers and other stakeholders may have the information of sex workers in different countries but that is also found incomplete and inadequate when needed. Evacuation of sex workers is not only a local issue. It had happened worldwide at some or other point of time. Most of the countries had tried to abolish or regulate the sex trade but there is no benchmark evidence found till date that have properly rehabilitated the sex workers. Rehabilitation of sex workers was ignored by government authorities despite India being a welfare state. Now, Researcher would like to explain how she selected to take the said research topic. After obtaining P.G. Degree in Social Work, the researcher had the opportunity to work extensively as a Counselor in ART (Anti Retroviral Therapy) Centre, New Civil Hospital, Surat. This centre is treating HIV/AIDS positive patients by providing them ARV (Anti Retroviral) medicine at no cost which can increase their CD4 count (Immune).
