Summary:

Saheli HIV/AIDS Karyakarta Sangh és un col·lectiu de treballadores sexuals i una organització basada en la comunitat fundada en 1998 en Pune (Maharashtra, India), que té com a missió empoderar dones de la prostitució mitjançant la col·lectivització. A l'agost de 2012, 17 membres de Saheli van participar en el taller Imagine Empowerment Workshop, dissenyat per a enfortir les dones en circumstàncies vitals exigents i així concebre i crear noves possibilitats per a les seues vides, les seues famílies i les seues comunitats a través de la participació. La recerca que ací es presenta pretén avaluar l'impacte de l'Imagine Empowerment Workshop i de l'enfortiment de les treballadores sexuals de Saheli HIV/AIDS Karyakarta Sangh, prestant especial atenció a les àrees d'interès d?aquest col·lectiu.
