New Delhi: The change is happening and it is happening for good. Quite a vague idea by a 3-year-old kid of a sex worker in the brothels of Delhi's GB road has now turned into a movement.
The walls of the area are being given a dynamic makeover jointly by the sex workers, their children and the graffiti artist from within the country and overseas.
The goal is to change the perceptions of thousands of people visiting these streets.
G.B. road that stands as an acronym to Garstin Bastion Road is the world's second largest red-light district in Delhi, India with hundreds of multi-story brothels having over 12,000 sex workers.
And as one takes glance over the graffiti, it is easy to realize that they are expressing what they want in their lives...they know there is a hope!
Most of the graffiti work done triggers you to feel the expression of these sex workers. And as said by the famous sex educator Margaret Sanger, “Woman must not accept, she must challenge. She must not be awed by that which has been built up around her; she must reverence that woman in her which struggles for expression.”
Amongst a few pictures that lie gloriously on the walls, one shows a woman painted in various colours while another one shows a lady pointing her finger out towards a school. Each stroke in these paintings defines the plea of sex workers and explains how far they have been deprived of the normal colours of the life of a woman.
The sex workers were also asked to cherish something that provided them an ‘unsaid pleasure.' One of the artists along with an NGO asked the women to drop some colours from their terrace and wait them to turn into drops of rainbow – elaborating the vivacious hues desired by these women.
The artists have also mentioned how emotionally attached these sex workers feel towards them as they appreciate their effort in designing their thoughts and pleas on the walls of their area.
Well, we say a tremendously creative effort to promote humanity in humans!
