🇮🇳🩸👩🏽🌾Les travailleuses de la canne à sucre en Inde SE FONT RETIRER l’utérus pour ne plus manquer une journée de travail.
Dans le district de Beed (Maharashtra), des ouvrières de la canne à sucre subissent des hystérectomies pour ÉVITER LES ABSENCES liées aux règles, aux grossesses ou aux fausses couches. Dans le système de travail « jodi », les couples sont surendettés et TRAVAILLENT jusqu’à 14 HEURES PAR JOUR, sans congés ni protections, poussant certaines femmes à voir cette opération comme une solution pour continuer à travailler.
Malgré des enquêtes menées en 2019 révélant plus de 13 000 HYSTÉRECTOMIES dans le district de Beed et des promesses de réformes, les militants dénoncent un manque de changements concrets. Les conditions de travail extrêmes, le MANQUE D’HYGIÈNE et la pression de certains médecins FAVORISENT ces opérations.
Les autorités locales, sous pression médiatique, ont lancé de nouvelles enquêtes et PROMETTENT DES MESURES, mais les activistes estiment que le système reste inchangé.

Congress gets free healthcare for life, a pension when they retire, and $79 A DAY for lunch... that’s all BEFORE their $175,000 a year salary.
The system is a joke and tax payers are the punchline.
The artist behind this painting, Criselda Vasquez, painted this portrait of her parents in 2017. The man in this painting, her father, was recently taken by ICE. He has lived in the United States for forty years. This loss has made it hard for the family to support themselves. If you want to support them, you can go to their GoFundMe here:

We live in a world where you can go to jail for speaking out against Netanyahu or having a miscarriage, but if you’re a pedophile, the law will be broken to protect you.
