Coalition for Sex Workers and Sexual Minority Rights will organise a “pride march” and Karnataka Queer Habba-2014 on Sunday from City Railway Station to Chandrashekar Azad Ground in Malleswaram.
Speaking to presspersons here on Friday, Archana Shetty, a member of the Coalition said the march is being organised to end violence and oppression based on gender identity and sexual orientation and discrimination and rejection at home, at the place of work.
