🇮🇳🩸👩🏽🌾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.

If you're a naturally anxious person, I recommend pursuing a high stress career path where at least you'll be compensated for anxiety you're going to have anyways.
i still feel like one of the best traits you can have as a friend is #curiosity... wanting to know how someone's mind works, what they have specific knowledge on, their passion projects and creative process... slowly learning about someone is the most wonderful thing
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:

“Is my BF cheating by watching porn” is less of an important question to me than “is it OK that my BF is getting off to extremely reactionary media made by an industry that trafficks and rapes to operate”
I used to read this and think, "One day I will really get this," and now I can say WOW. I REALLY get this. Sometimes you do get so close to someone you end up on the other side of them
I hate how eventual acquiescence to patriarchal norms is framed as aged wisdom whereas opposition is framed as youthful naïveté, especially within feminist discourses. If we tell younger women that the smart option is to roll over & capitulate then there is no movement, no cause.
a sadness in getting older that i didn't anticipate is the growing list if places you realize you won't see again. theres something in being young that makes you confident you will always return
There is a teeny tiny group of women journalists WHO WORK IN THE FIELD across media houses in TN, who were called 200Rs DMK stooges by TVK goons when we criticized TVK, and presstitutes by DMK goons when we criticized them in our GROUND REPORTS. We are not a targeted group by just one party. Going fwd, there really is no change in the way how women reporters will be treated on-offline by male dominated political space, let alone how tech savvy anils will fry us hereafter for writing a critical story on THEIR govt. Athu sari, will they even take news stories serious?
Sad day really.
