Jeavakkal TANSACS - TI (FSW) Project

In collaboration with the Tamil Nadu AIDS Control Society, the Jeevakkal Society is working with women sex workers in Srivilliputhur, Sivakasi, Rajapalayam, Vembakkottai and Watrap  Panchayat Unions.

Most of the women work in the Match Boxes industries and fireworks factories. They work as farm labourers. Working in these industries is physically and psychologically challenging and the income is also very low. Hence, they are forced to look for alternative jobs of supplementary income sources. Most women engage in sex work due to their family circumstances. Approximately 500 women were identified as female sex workers from these five unions in Virudhunagar district.
