NGO housing them evicted from building.A non-profit organisation which has been working with teenaged daughters of commercial sex workers has been asked to vacate the suburban Mumbai flat out of which it operates after residents of the building came to know about the parentage of the girls.Eleven revolutionaries, as the NGO Kranti prefers to call its wards, face the threat of homelessness after June 10, the date by which the NGO must vacate its Kandivali east apartment. The NGO provides the girls – aged between 13 and 19 --education, leadership training and therapy, as well as imparts them the skills necessary to work within their community in the red light areas.Everything was working smoothly until, ironically, fame did the NGO in. Some time last year, one of the girls, 18-year-old Shweta Katti was selected by New York's Bard College and offered a $30,000 scholarship for her tuition fees. She was also listed by Newsweek as “one of the 25 under-25 women in the world to watch out for”.“All this while we had maintained that the girls were orphans. But once news of Katti broke, it became evident to the residents that they were children of commercial sex workers. They started complaining about us to the landlord, who withstood the pressure for a very long time,” said Robin Chaurasiya, co-founder of Kranti. She explained that the flat owner, M S Pavekar was kind enough to let them stay till the rent contract came to an end.Recently, the housing society called for a meeting and passed a resolution to evict the girls who stay with three caretakers in the 3-BHK flat in Akurli Om building. The landlord was left with no option but to ask them to vacate the flat.Over the last month-and-a-half, Kranti’s team has been unable to rent a flat in the city, although it has seen over 100 properties, as this time it is being upfront with the owners about the identity of the girls. “Most praise us for the work but do not want to give their houses on rent,” said Chaurasiya, an Indian-American.The NGO cannot afford to buy a flat in the city. Nor does it make sense for it to operate from outside Mumbai because its objective is to train girls to do social work in the city’s red light areas, and create a support system there.Residents of the society insisted theirs was a building for “families” and that the girls might be a bad influence on their children.
