Pune's red-light area, the second largest red-light area in Maharashtra after Mumbai and houses close to five thousand cis female sex workers from India, Bangladesh and Nepal. The denial of housing, a basic human right, forces women into unsafe practices, affecting their livelihood and well-being. Using survey data and interviews, the paper examines the precarious living conditions of the sex workers, access to housing and property, tenancy arrangements and political economy of the business. Further the paper discusses how sex workers in Budhwar Peth creatively manage and profit from their living spaces despite facing legal challenges in securing formal property rights. The paper suggests that the housing rights is essential for sex workers for their safety, legal protection, economic stability and overall wellbeing.
