West Bengal government seeks support of DMSC for cervical cancer vaccination for sex workers in Sonagachi

The West Bengal government is looking to the Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee (DMSC), an organization advocating for the rights of sex workers, to help with a cervical cancer vaccination drive in Sonagachi, a prominent red-light area. This initiative highlights the government's commitment to improving health outcomes for marginalized groups. Cervical cancer remains a significant health issue, especially among high-risk populations, and this move underscores the importance of targeted public health interventions. By collaborating with DMSC, the government aims to ensure that these vulnerable communities receive crucial medical support.
