SIR से सहमी सोनागाछी की गलियां, S*x workers का क्या होगा? | Political Naari by Nivedita

Video Description

In this episode of Political Naari, Nivedita raises a crucial and often ignored question about women living in Sonagachi who are being asked to provide official identity documents in order to access basic rights and government schemes. For many women working in Sonagachi, especially those registered under the SIR process, the demand for documents becomes an almost impossible hurdle. These women are often migrants who arrived in the city years ago under difficult circumstances. Many were brought without consent, many fled poverty or violence, and most never had the chance to secure birth certificates, address proofs, or educational records. Over time, frequent movement, unsafe living conditions, and social stigma have further erased whatever paperwork they may once have had. Expecting them to suddenly produce formal documents ignores the reality of their lives. Nivedita questions the system that treats documentation as the sole proof of existence. When the state itself has failed to include these women in formal processes for decades, how can the burden now be placed entirely on them? If access to welfare, healthcare, voting rights, or legal protection depends on documents, then thousands of women are automatically pushed outside the idea of citizenship. The episode also highlights how this exclusion disproportionately affects women. Without documents, they remain invisible to the state, vulnerable to exploitation, police harassment, and denial of services. The lack of paperwork becomes a tool of control rather than governance. Through this discussion, Political Naari urges viewers to reflect on a deeper question: should dignity, rights, and recognition depend only on papers, or on the fact that these women exist, work, and contribute to society? This episode challenges policymakers and citizens alike to rethink inclusion, empathy, and justice. #sexworkers #humantrafficking #sircampaign #electioncommission #womenempowerment #marginalizedcommunities #genderequality #socialjustice #humanrightsindia #SexWorkAwareness #womeninindia #socialreform #streetvoices #civicrights #westbengal #sonagachi #indianlaw #equalityforall #humanrightsindia #genderinequality ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📲 Available on: • Molitics App (iOS) – https://apps.apple.com/in/app/molitics/id1273743985 • Molitics App (Android) – https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.molitics.molitician&pcampaignid=web_share • Website – https://www.molitics.in 📢 Follow us on: • View all Videos :- https://www.molitics.in/moliticsvideos/list • Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/Molitics • Twitter – https://x.com/moliticsindia?s=20 • Instagram –https://www.instagram.com/moliticsindia/ • WhatsApp Channel – https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vaa7gvnHQbS960rGiz2c 📩 Contact us at: [email protected]
