Yoga to relax sex workers!
Alka Rastogi
Sex workers throughout the country would be taught Yoga under the
aegis of Bhartiya Patita Uddhar Samiti, an organization devoted to
the welfare of prostitutes. Another organization - The Friends
Society - has also decided to help them.
The first camp has commenced in the Shivdaspur area of Varanasi by
Swamy Yogeshwaranand, a disciple of Yoga Guru Swami Ramdeo.
According to President of Bhartiya Patita Uddhar Sabha, Yoga will
help the sex workers in keeping themselves mentally and physically
fit. Prolonged sex act makes them physically very tiring if a sex
worker has to attend to many customers in a day.
Often sex causes vaginal pain and mental stress. Yoga would help
them enjoy the act which otherwise is an act of drudgery for a sex
worker.
The organizations have decided to spread its wing nationwide and to
teach yoga to sex workers throughout the country.
According to President of the Friends Society Ashish Agarwal, yoga
classes would be held in more than 1100 red light areas across
India and such classes would benefit 23.85 lakh sex workers who
often satiate the hunger of as many as 80 lakh customers.
A small beginning has also been made in Delhis' GB Road red light
area where there are 96 brothels. The figure of secret red light
areas in Delhi is much more.
