The story of Kusum. What is the fate of a sex worker today? Are they molested on the streets or given royal treatment?
Kusum has been involved in the profession for 20 years but has been able to rise from scratch and set an example to all women engaged in the profession. How did you end up in this profession? I come from a good family background. I have two brothers and a sister. By the time I was 18, I was a mother of two children but even then I was still unmarried. However, after I gave birth to my children we married. We faced many problems, including financial issues and were struggling to survive.
Later I left for Sharjah and worked there. But to my dismay, I found out that my husband had spent all the money wastefully. The salary was very less and I was not very satisfied with it since I had to find the bread and butter for my children.
While working there, I came across another friend who suggested me this profession. At first I was quite nervous but then later got used to it and was involved in it for 20 years. What happened after you became a sex worker? My husband left me so I was living with an interdicted police officer. This illicit affair went on for 17 years.
He also cheated me and I was even psychologically affected. However, I ensured that my children had a proper education and managed to build a house on my own. How did society treat you? We were always molested by the policemen. I have been dragged to the police station many times.
