The Flying Sex Worker
A self-employed flying sex worker does not reside in Sonagachi, but rents a room whenever she visits, either directly from the landlord or from a brothel keeper. Both the sex worker and landlord benefit considerably from this arrangement. The landlord earns more from renting out a room on a daily or even hourly basis without having to deal with a regular tenantâs demands. The sex worker, on the other hand, passes on her rental costs to her customers and is not tied down by a lease, allowing her mobility to work in different red-light areas, and can better manage the risk of police enforcement (Sleightholme and Sinha 1996, 11). Finally, the self-employed flying sex worker has more security in Sonagachi than other public places where street-based sex workers operate. Her risk of being apprehended by a policeman is lower in Sonagachi than in a public place, but is higher than it is for a brothel-based residential sex worker. She is likely, after all, to solicit on the main road bordering Sonagachi, which is subject to major sweeps by the police. Whether the high customer footfall in Sonagachi means increased income due to overall increased demand compared to the other sex markets that she works in or decreased income due to competition from other sex workers is unclear. Yet this submode of organization involves low investment, moderate profits, and low legal risk (Gonzales et al. 1999).
