"My next target is to ensure no prostitution in Delhi," said Swati Maliwal, chief of Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) who got a fresh term on Tuesday from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Inspite of laws that prohibit soliciting of 'customers', prostitution has been going on in Delhi in red-light areas like GB Road.

Swati has taken various initiatives in this regard such as contacting the MCDs, Delhi Jal Board (DJB) and electricity companies to find out who are the owners of the brothels on GB Road, rescuing minor girls with the help of various NGOs, aiding in rehabilitation of sex workers through alternate livelihoods and marriage, etc.

Maliwal said, "prostitution was the worst form of slavery and legalising the trade would promote trafficking."

She also questioned the experts vouching for legalising the trade and said only poor women would be pushed into it if prostitution was allowed under the law.
