In the heart of Delhi, at Garstin Bastion Road, known as GB Road, a remarkable transformation is underway. An all-women police post, led by Sub-Inspector Kiran, has become a beacon of hope for sex workers in the area.
The police post, along with NGO collaboration, provides mental health sessions, skill development programs, and awareness campaigns, empowering women to transition towards self-reliance. From coaching classes to artistic training, the initiatives aim to uplift economically disadvantaged women.
Beyond skills and awareness, the programs have rewritten personal narratives. Women rescued from brothels are finding new livelihoods, while some pursue education, breaking cycles of despair. This policing initiative has become a haven of growth, dreams, and courage for those often marginalized by society.
