Smart cards for sex workers M B Maramkal [ Sunday, June 25, 2006 12:53:23 amTIMES NEWS NETWORK ] MYSORE: While a debate rages about whether the oldest profession should be legalised, by and large most turn a blind eye to prostitutes being pilloried by police and exposed to fatal health risks like AIDS. But sex workers in Mysore have found someone who's casting a kind eye at them and even giving them a modicum of social recognition. An NGO has devised a smart card that will provide an incentive for them to go for regular medical checks. The medical-must has been bundled with a plastic card which entitles prostitutes to incentives when they shop for their daily needs. The first-of-its-kind scheme was launched recently by Ashodaya, an NGO run by Karnataka Health Promotion Trust (KHPT) headed by James Blanchard. Participant vendors and traders give card holders incentives in the form of points or cash concessions. Accumulated points earn card holders discounts and gifts and these can be redeemed at hotels, provision stores and textile shops, says Suma Ashodaya joint secretary. "The only obligation to keep the card valid is that the holders should turn up for our health check-up at least once in three months," says another activist Fathima Mary. Card holders are examined thoroughly for any symptoms of sexually-transmitted diseases and infections. Community member Ratna says this card will not only bring her commercial benefits but it's also a symbol of self-esteem which creates a sense of inclusion in society. Though the card was formally launched on May 26, distribution has been delayed due to non-arrival of cards and other logistical problems. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1677025.cms ------------------------ Yahoo!
