Rajasthan Nut Samaj Sudhar Samiti

Rajasthan Nut Samaj Sudhar Samiti  was founded in the year 1996. Some of the concerned people of the community had thought to embark on the journe Read morey to remove the social stigma i.e. “sex work” attached to the name of the community “Nat”. Historically, the community has been involved with the work of providing sexual services for royal classes but with the end of the regime of different kingdoms the business diverted towards other sections of the society. Presently, the community has its roots from Rajasthan to as far as Mumbai. All the important transit points of the highways have doted with their presence. The community has established norms underlying certain conditions to allow girls in the business of providing sexual services. Therefore the community laws disallow any girl from being getting married throughout her life. Girls are dedicated to sex work by their families at an early age depending on the conditions and thinking of the families. The Nat community has been stigmatized and discriminated by the large sections of the society for involvement in the trade of sex work. They have devoid of rights as a citizen although many claims have been made regarding different representatives of the public. The organization has raised the voice and tried to address the concerns of the community Like health needs primary among them is HIV and AIDS, education, development of women and adolescents with whatever little assistance it has mustered from their own resources. In this process, some enthusiastic members of the society have withdrawn their support, as the organization cannot sustain all the members of the society who depend on the organization for their livelihood. The organizations can barely support the work with the little assistance although some volunteers from the community and some highly concerned persons of the field of Non-governmental organizations have served the organization without any vested interest. Today the organization has a good team of about 25 volunteers together with experts from the field of Non-Governmental organizations. HIV/ AIDS till now remains the central point of work
