When the husband gets AIDS, the wife loses her job, the woman wanders from house to house, and then…
In Bengaluru, Karnataka, a woman was fired from her job because her husband had AIDS. The woman was working as a housekeeping worker in the state government department. He was hired for seven thousand five hundred rupees per month. The woman lives in a rented house with her husband and two children. He got this job only three years ago. But in between he was fired. The Karnataka government has decided to reinstate the woman. It was only through the intervention of the Lok Sabha that he got his job back. The woman's husband fell ill a few months ago. He also lost his job. Upon testing, the woman's husband was found to have AIDS. Household expenses were now covered by women's salaries. But when they found out where the woman was working, they forcibly sent her home with three months' salary. After three months the woman wanted to return to her job. But the department categorically refused to give him a job. Apart from this, no one gave the girl a job. Due to this there was shortage of food in his house. The woman kept going around government departments. But no one listened to him. He then contacted Lokpal Shivkumar Veeriah. He noticed what the woman said. I decided to help him. The woman has now found a job again. What did the woman say? The woman says there is no one else in the house to earn money except her. Previously, the husband also had a job. But he lost his job due to ill health. I am absolutely fine. I also tested myself. Despite this, I was fired. This is why we depended on every penny. Nobody hired me. Then Lokpal Shivkumar Veeriah helped me. I am grateful to him. He got me back to work.
