The Challenge Sudara Addresses
India has more than 3 million sex workers. Many women are raising their children on less than $2 a day, struggling just to get by. Socioeconomic status and gender inequities create huge barriers to empowerment. Without access to resources like skills training, education, and job opportunities, escaping this cycle feels impossible. Sudara steps in to change that narrative.
