The women’s wing of the Hynñiewtrep National Youth Front (HNYF) filed a complaint with police against the Rot Association of Meghalaya (RAM), an organisation representing sex workers, for allegedly promoting prostitution.
RAM has shaken Meghalaya’s morality police recently simply with two letters calling for the decriminalization of consensual sex work and respect for the rights of sex workers.
The FIR was filed by the HNYF Women’s Wing’s Betty Jyrwa and Phrinsibon Kharmuti.
The two leveled all sorts of accusations against RAM, including that its “mode of operation” goes against the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, that they are promoting illegal activities, i.e. prostitution.
