In India there is a marked difference between how many parents treat their daughters and their sons. Many girls are not given the same kind of food, they are not educated in the same manner and they are raised only to become someone’s wife, not encouraged to have aspirations for their own futures. Unemployment among males often leads to their brutalizing their wives and children. In many cases, this is fuelled by alcohol misuse. The main object of these women’s lives is to raise their children and many dwelling in both urban and rural areas live below the poverty line, meaning that they turn to sex work just to feed and clothe their children. Anoothi has given them a route out of the desperation of poverty and sex work.
