More than seven years after Kerala created history as the first Indian state to unveil a transgender policy, why is a trans woman with a postgraduate degree and teacher training still forced to work as a sex worker?
In India, sex work is at present decriminalised but not legalised, and hence there is no dedicated government department for the rehabilitation or monitoring of workers in the profession.
