INDIA: Sex workers go smart with cards
Under a project facilitated by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, about 500 sex workers in Mysore own chip-embedded smart cards, which when presented during transactions help them get discounts at select shops and hotels and earn them loyalty points that can be redeemed for discounts on later purchases. The shopping basket can include provisions, food at restaurants and clothes.
But the card serves another purpose. It has the medical record of the sex worker, who has to compulsorily get his or her health check up at a clinic once in three months.
Does this mean that a sore will get better treated on a whore in Mysore?
Hmm:
My-sore as a place where we are talking about sex workers? Can such a place exist? Is it located between Myclap and Mycrabs?
Sorry, I could not resist….
And for the Mac users out there … iClap and iCrabs.
Sorry, I could not resist either ….
Someone’s going to be sore over the direction of this thread.
Actually, the man (or Linda) may be better at social engieering than at software. Quite clever actually.
