April 2026: Part 2 - Kiran and Vanita from Vamp and Saheli Sangh

Welcome to our April episode of Radio AvA! Made possible by a collaboration between Kiran & Vanita from VAMP & Saheli Sangh & Jo Hemlatha.

Real Radio AvA heads will know we previously released an introduction to this episode back in October 2025, well this is the interview we primed you for & know you have been waiting for.

We were joined by Kiran & Vanita who are both sex work organisers & activists based in West India.

They talked with Lolly about the activist & community work that they do & have been doing since the 90’s, how HIV & AIDS activism is entwined with SW activism, overcoming stigma, celebrating SW pride, supporting the undocumented, substance use in the community & so much more. It’s a fascinating talk that I know will give you razor focus for your next community action, protest or act of mutual aid.

Here is a link to the play 'My Mother, Her Gharwali, Her Maalak and His Wife' that was mentioned pad.ma/MX/info

As always, Love + Soidarity xoxo
