Abstract
ABSTRACT The Nat community of Rajasthan is one of the most affected groups by the covid-19 pandemic and lockdown. Traditionally engaged in sex work the Nat women live in the red-light areas of metropolitan cities like Mumbai and Delhi, far from patron villages of Rajasthan and working as bar dancers or sex workers. This narrative tells the story of their experiences during the time of the pandemic: how the lockdown affected their livelihood and occupation, why they decided to go back to their villages during lockdown, how a local community group came together to support them when they were abandoned by all others and what is their current situation and future outlook.
