GB Road's Sex Workers And Shopkeepers Voice Long-Ignored Pleas
ucked away in the heart of Delhi lies the Garstin Bastion Road, commonly known as GB Road and officially as Swami Shradhanand Marg, a bustling yet neglected hub that has been synonymous with the city's red-light district for over a century. Behind its narrow, dimly lit lanes and crumbling facades lies a world of despair, resilience, and survival. For the sex workers who call this area home, life is a relentless battle against stigma, poverty, and systemic neglect. As the Delhi Assembly elections approach, sex workers in GB Road recount a familiar tale - of promises made to them, which are seldom kept.
