“…Como citado anteriormente, o governo de vários países "de primeiro mundo" realizou ações direcionadas para o público mais carente, enquanto estudos realizados no Quênia, Tailândia, Rajastão, Índia e Zimbabwe evidenciam uma realidade repleta de preconceito e estigma social, gerando uma situação muito mais precária em relação às medidas públicas, resultando no total abandono dessas trabalhadoras durante a pandemia do COVID-19. (Gichuna et al, 2020;Kimani et al, 2020;Jangir & RajNat, 2020;Janyam et al, 2020;Reza-Paul et al, 2020).…”

O presente artigo trata-se de uma revisão do tipo sistemática cujo objetivo foi analisar as principais mudanças de hábitos e impactos sociais das trabalhadoras do sexo no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19. Foram revisados os textos pertencentes a Pubmed, Web of Science (todas as bases de dados), Embase, Scopus e Cochrane Library sem distinções quanto a idioma ou ano de publicação, somente foram analisados artigos que se referirem a mulheres maiores de idade como sua população. Dos 89 documentos resgatados, 29 obedeceram a nossos critérios de inclusão e exclusão. A partir da análise qualitativa dos achados, é possível identificar as profissionais do sexo como população de risco e que não foi devidamente amparada. Dessa forma, é possível observar que a inclusão das prostitutas no planejamento de políticas públicas deve ser pensado de forma a garantir os direitos básicos dessas profissionais.

“…During the Covid-19 pandemic, lower-caste populations, such as the Nat community, whose daughters work as pub dancers and sex workers in Mumbai, experienced a number of obstacles, as well as an ongoing stigmatisation of their vocation as an “impure occupation.” The imposition of lockdown aggravated their condition as they did not have enough savings to pay the rent, and return home. This shows how the historically marginalised section of the society is further affected adversely by this pandemic (Jangir and RajNat 2020 ).…”

The present paper is focused on the devastating effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on female sex workers (FSWs) in India and the globe. In Indian scenario, it emphasises on historical factors and theoretical frameworks that explicates the ceaseless exploitation of FSWs even before the pandemic. This inquiry analyses the efficacy of legislative and judicial endeavours taken with regard to FSWs. It highlights the role of non-governmental organisations and sex workers’ community, actively working in providing support to the FSWs. Here, we attempt to document the scattered information from various reports regarding sex workers and prostitution. Literature search was done through search engines like Science Direct, Google Scholar and PubMed using keywords such as “COVID-19 pandemic” “sex workers”, “prostitutes”, “health”, and “policies”. Web hits from Google Scholar were collected using a Boolean search and retrieval method involving sex workers and the “AND” operator. During Covid-19 pandemic, due to stigmatisation of their profession FSWs are majorly excluded from government relief programs and health services. In India, the existing laws for FSWs are rigid in nature. They emphasize on prohibition of prostitution. There is an urgent need in India to move towards a substitute model which embody a flexible decriminalisation policy for sex workers. By studying relevant literature on the present topic the gap between policy formulation and implementation was identified. In case of India, it outlines recommendations, in particular providing immediate aid and relief, issuance of temporary documentation to sex workers.

“…The Nat community of Rajasthan faced the brunt of the lockdown and still at great confusion about their future prospect. The Nat community is considered as Scheduled Caste, termed as “Dalit” placed at the bottom of the Hindu Caste hierarchy (Jangir & RajNat, 2020). Similarly, other lower caste populations in the villages were at severe survival crisis, as mostly they were dependent on various day‐labor job in the farm, and other daily wage employment available within the rural economy or in the nearby towns.…”

Poor are vulnerable, frail, battered, marginalized, voiceless, and victim of multiple social circumstances. The complex vulnerable existence always made them suffer and become double victims of any disaster, be it natural, human‐made, or biological like pandemic COVID‐19. Poverty in India is an outfall of a number of complex social realities, historical past, and present doldrums. Restrictions due to lockdown and a shrinking economy, the job market as the immediate impact caused a number of survival crises for the rural families. The situation of rural poor becomes even more aggravated, as the reverse migration and influx of population increased the consumption and demand for jobs that actually the rural livelihood sector can provide. While the pre‐existing vulnerabilities of the poor are exposed in the pandemic, the government's response toward them showed its restricted efficiency. The pandemic COVID‐19 has taken human‐life hostage and effective sustainable strategies to manage the crisis of the poor vulnerable section were essential for long‐term resolution. Thus, the professional challenge ahead is designing a sustainable strategy of working in such pandemic situations that social workers are professionally skilled to handle similar challenges.
