Sex Industry: Bengal sex workers to make additional charge to benefit the state economy

Sex workers in Bengal plan to impose additional charges on their customers in order to allow them to contribute money towards the development of the state.

The Hindustan Times reports the decision was taken by the sex workers during the ongoing six day 'All India Conference of Entertainment Workers'.

In return the sex workers want recognition from the government and end of police harassment for them and their clients.

I guess that is what some might call a "sin-tax".
