A proposito di questo titolo

Sam is a gender historian at ANU in Canberra. I had a fascinating conversation with Sam about the melting pot of India and the draconian laws of India's penal code, set in 1860 by the British government.

These laws tarnished sex workers with the brush of immorality and evil, portraying them as fallen women, without questioning the social and economic reasons why they found themselves in that position.

We discussed the double standards that apply to women in this industry and protect only the male clientele, and how it might be possible to change these laws, which are still stuck in Colonial era of British occupation.
