Profile of Target Area
The target group consists of substance users. The identified users in the area include street-based, home-based, and dhaba-based users. During visits to 12 hotspots, 318 substance users were identified. Discussions with key community informants indicated that the actual number may be higher. However, the COVID-19 pandemic created barriers to community participation and awareness activities. Despite these challenges, interventions and support services continue to be provided to the target population.
Educational Status
In terms of educational status, 60% of substance users are illiterate with no formal or informal education. Around 13% are literate and able to read Hindi and other regional languages, while 20% have received primary-level education. Approximately 5% have completed middle school, and 2% have completed matriculation.
Residential Status
With regard to the residential status of the identified group, it was found that individuals come from different states of India and Nepal and have been residing in the area for varying periods. Around 85% of respondents reported that they had stayed in their present location for at least 3 years, with the duration extending up to 50 years in some cases.
Employment
In order to study the employability status among substance users, responses were collected on different types of employment. The results indicated limited employment opportunities in the area, with only 3% having full-time employment, while 94% work on a part-time basis. The nature and availability of work play an important role in their employment status.
Marital Status
The study tried to capture the data regarding the marital status of the community. The result indicated that 61% are married, while 18% fall into the category of divorced and widowed. It seems that there is a culture of early marriage, as the age category data showed that the majority of FSWs are in the 26 to 40 age group. Moreover, being married is not a barrier to being involved in sex work.
