Sex workers and their customers attend the All India Conference of Entertainment Workers in Kolkata, India. Approximately 1000 sex workers, their children, and regular customers traveled from all over India to the conference organized by Binodini Sramik Union. The conference theme was "Rights to Pleasure," reflecting the workers' quest for equitable economic, social, and political status for all entertainment workers. Attendees also established a self-regulatory board in part to manage the problem of sex trafficking. © 2007 Gopal Bhattacharjee, Courtesy of Photoshare [Photo ID: 121-5]
