Abstract | Karnataka, a state with wide-ranging economic and cultural landscapes, things to see the regional disparities faced by female sex workers (FSWs). These disparities understandable in their economic opportunities, access to healthcare, and exposure to stigma and violence. This paper examines the socioeconomic and health challenges of FSWs across urban hubs like Bengaluru and rural regions of Karnataka, drawing on secondary data from government reports, academic studies, and NGO interventions. The findings reveal significant differences in earnings, living conditions, and access to health services between urban and rural areas. While urban FSWs may have better access to healthcare and legal resources, they face heightened risks of exploitation and violence in an increasingly commercialized environment. In rural Karnataka, limited livelihood opportunities, pervasive stigma, and inadequate healthcare infrastructure exacerbate the vulnerabilities of FSWs. The paper advocates for region-specific interventions, emphasizing the need for decriminalization, healthcare outreach, and community-driven support systems to address the inequalities faced by FSWs in Karnataka. |
