MOTHERS
FOR SALE
Women in Kolkata’s Sex Trade
Indrani Sinha & Shamita Das Dasgupta
Mothers for Sale attempts to offer an understanding of sex workers as mothers, which goes beyond the current debate on the viability and legitimacy of sex work for women. It highlights the aspirations and fears, joys and disappointments, triumphs and failures that sex workers share with all mothers. Based on information culled from more than 750 sex workers including child prostitutes and 300 children, Mothers for Sale takes an unblinking look at the lives of mothers involved in the sex trade of Kolkata, India.
Indrani Sinha founded Sanlaap in 1987 and works with women and young people fighting for their rights and protesting violence against women.
Shamita Das Dasgupta
cofounded Manavi in New Jersey and is an Adjunct Faculty of Law with the NYU
Law School.
