Join Hands with Aastha Parivaar

Join Hands with Aastha Parivaar

Aastha Parivaar –a federation of 14 community based organizations by sex workers across Mumbai and Thane –is an organization formed by, of and for sex workers. Living in shadows, these are women who aspire for a dignified, empowered existence and violence free society. Paradoxically, Mumbai and its satellite town Thane are hubs of large migrant population as well as sex trade. Aastha Parivaar, an umbrella organization of male, female

and transgender sex workers, does serious work for the community, from finding alternate means of sustenance to meeting their health care needs, working toward HIV prevention.

But Aastha Parivaar is a young organization and it needs your support! For the first time ever, sex workers across Mumbai and Thane, are coming together to put forth an edutainment program, Anand Utsav – an array of skits, songs, folk dances and children’s performances – now on 12th October 2010. The event is open to general community.

Passes already bought will still be valid.

Donation passes are available for `1000/-, ` 500/ and `200/-. The proceedings from the donation passes will go towards the education of sex workers’ children. They are marginalized not only because they are children of sex workers, but also because several are themselves infected or affected by HIV. Intervention for sex workers’ children is vital for they are also most prone to enter the profession.

Show your support to Aastha Parivaar. Be there for the event!

We look forward to a long term relationship with you. Let Anand Utsav be the beginning!
