girls who push the boundaries, break the rules and have great fun doing

Legal
rights of commercial sex workers
This was a six month project in Kolkata, aimed to increase legal awareness
among female commercial sex-workers with the help of visual communication
materials. The premise was that despite the confusing laws on prostitution,
commercial sex-workers have certain legal rights, and could benefit
from knowing that the police are also bound by certain laws and procedures.
