Voices From Within

Abstract

This study investigates how marginalized populations in India are empowering themselves through sex tourism. Sex tourism is still frowned upon and associated with discomfort, even though it is becoming more and more common in the nation. To identify the underlying problems that sustain the stigma associated with sex tourism, this study intends to explore Indian viewpoints, experiences, and attitudes toward the practice. This study explores Indians' enduring reluctance and discomfort with sex tourism and its effects on the autonomy and empowerment of impacted communities through a qualitative analysis of surveys and interviews with people from a range of social backgrounds. The study provides insights into the benefits and challenges of changing societal perceptions to a more thorough and nuanced understanding of sex tourism and its implications for marginalized groups by looking at these intricate dynamics.
