Delhi Ends Segregation of Sex Workers from Female Prisoners Following Supreme Court Guidance
The Delhi government has ended the practice of segregating sex workers and brothel-keepers from other female prisoners, following recommendations by Supreme Court-appointed amicus curiae S Muralidhar. This move aligns with the Supreme Court's May 29 Prajwala judgment, which recognized that individuals prosecuted under trafficking laws may also be victims deserving rehabilitation. Delhi and Himachal Pradesh are the only states to implement these changes so far, addressing stigma and discriminatory provisions in prison manuals.
