Indian sex workers are by and large in the business due to situations beyond their control. Watch the Oscar winning documentary, Born into Brothels , to know about the lives of the children born to prostitutes here. Pretty hard hitting stuff. The area also has a small beedi roling industry that is run by women. Apparently the third largest red in India with around commercial sex workers.
The area is also a hub of electronic goods and books. This red light district has a notorious reputation for illegal trafficking and forced prostitution. Another large red light area, this place is known for the hundreds of brothels along the streets. There are markets for machinery and vehicle parts on the ground floors and kothas or brothels above them. In the mids, Kamathipura had around 50, sex workers, living in filthy rooms.
The brothels and locality here have a different perspective on prostitution. Such that, everyone living in the neighborhood will have a sneak peek about the women trying to elope. The pimps have a strong connection with the police. So, any sex worker or women making an attempt to escape will be caught, brought back, beaten, punished and humiliated in the locality. Turbhe Tekdi The Mumbai red light area in Turbhe has been a small lane, near the Turbhe Railway Station, much in the vicinity to a hilltop Tekdi signifies hilltop.
The precise location for the queue of women is the SP Lodge. A little after 8 PM, as the night starts getting prominently darker, these sex workers can be found sitting near the railway station. The women working around this region as prostitutes are the migrants from Kamathipura or the ones who have reached by sex trafficking from Nepal, Bengal or any other states of the country.
Also, Turbhe Tekdi was established much after Kamathipura, when more and more people including labourers, workers and craftsmen were moving here after the transformation as MIDC and with the observed need for sexual desires, a pimp had established the brothel. There are less of pimps as compared to Kamathipura. With the change in trend, this place is also going to fade away because most of the houses of ill-fame here are marked for re-development.
But this place is also going to diminish further in the wake of emerging new trend and existing scenario of flesh trade. Now with the flesh trade business going online and also being carried out in Ladies Bar, Beer Bars, Flats and Hotels whereon not only the girls earn a fat money but the organizations has led to a dearth of prostitutes in these infamous red light areas.
