Sonagachi, Kolkata's red-light district, is believed to have originated from the tomb (mazaar) of a Sufi saint named Sona Ghazi. It's now a large area with numerous multi-story brothels and an estimated 10,000 sex workers. The area is also known for the Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee, a sex workers' union that advocates for their rights and fights against trafficking.
Here's a more detailed look at the history:

HIV/AIDS Awareness:
In the 1990s, the area became the focus of a major HIV/AIDS prevention program, spearheaded by the All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health.
Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee:
This sex workers' union was established and plays a crucial role in Sonagachi, advocating for the rights of sex workers and fighting against trafficking.
