About the session
Ms. Swati spoke about how she set up the Indian post branch in Kamathipura, Mumbai. And how she made sex workers over there enlighten upon financial savings by opening savings accounts. She also spoke about her difficulties in creating a branch in Kamathipura. Additionally, that branch now has 1100 savings accounts. It was upsetting to hear when she told the students that the women working there are at ease with their jobs while wanting their children to be away from that environment. She also informed us that the local youngsters lack valid identity documents. She sent letters and made phone calls to UIDAI officials in order to get Aadhar cards for them so they could register accounts with India Post.
