ABSTRACT

Jagori, a women’s center based in New Delhi, India, has worked on issues of trafficking, migration, and rights of sex workers for over six years. In our work so far, we have consistently come across problems in the availability and reliability of data on these issues, which render intervention either impossible or ineffective, and uninformed. In an effort to begin addressing this gap, Jagori conducted a study in 2000 in two states of India, Rajasthan and Gujarat, which led to a larger action-research project.
