They say almost a year after COVID-19-induced lockdown, govt. has not kept its promises

A group of hawkers, sex workers, domestic workers, rescued bonded labourers and other unorganised workers gathered at Jantar Mantar here on Thursday, almost a year after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a lockdown to curb the spread of COVID-19, setting off a crisis for migrant workers, to demand that the government fulfil the promises made during the pandemic.

“Sex workers had no resources to survive the lockdown as they live on daily earnings,” said Kusum, of the All-India Network of Sex Workers at the protest organised by the Working People’s Charter. “The government sent food to schools, but they didn’t see that workers lived several kilometres away. As long as we are dying of hunger, there is no Atmanirbhar Bharat. How can I say my country is great?”

She said migrant workers were unable to access many of the government’s schemes for lack of documents. She demanded a one-time income support of 10,000 for all unorganised workers.
