Saheli Sangh, a Pune-based charitable trust, advocates for the rights of female sex workers.
The 'Pehal' initiative led by Saheli Sangh and the city post office has facilitated the opening of over 1,000 post office savings accounts for sex workers in two years.
A camp was held in February to encourage women to apply for benefits under social protection and insurance schemes.
Pehal signifies efforts to fortify the rights of sex workers and enhance their societal standing.
Advocacy meetings with post office officials have raised awareness about various entitlement services.
Through 'Pehal,' Saheli Sangh strives to foster financial security and social inclusion, amplifying the voices and rights of sex workers for a more equitable society.
