Women group offers food to female sex workers

Nagpur: Women Entrepreneur Enclave (WEE), which had started distributing food and other help to the needy during pandemic, offered their service to female sex workers (FSW) and their family members from the red-light locality of Ganga Jamuna on Monday with the help of Lakadganj police.
A day earlier, the group had also distributed food packets to the FSWs and their kin with help of the Indian Red Cross Society. WEE, which had started their food distribution activities from Mother’s Day, is being helped by Reema Ghosh’s ‘Ellora-The women’s pride’ group in preparing around 250 food packets daily.
Deepti Wakade, head of the WEE in Nagpur, said the group has been actively helping the destitute people with food packets, masks, sanitizers and so on during the pandemic. “The destitute people have been in dire strait during the pandemic and hence we decided to support them,” she said.
Ghosh said she has been investing from her pocket to give work to the cooks and support staff. Apart from the red light area, WEE has distributed food to roadside dwellers at and around Nagpur railway station, Jaitala and other localities.
