Here, we speak with tea plantation workers in Wayanad, Kerala with the help of a translator, who helps us understand what their daily routine looks like. While language can be a barrier, when you truly seek to understand, there are always ways to communicate. Thanks to Ms. Avani Bansal and translator Mr. Vineesh, for giving us a peek into the daily lives of tea plantation workers. While the women were camera shy, the amount of satisfaction they had, is worth learning from. This video was shot before the COVID crisis hit us in full measure.

The Womb - Encouraging, Empowering and Celebrating Women.
The Womb is an e-platform to bring together a community of people who are passionate about women rights and gender justice. It hopes to create space for women issues in the media which are oft neglected and mostly negative. For our boys and girls to grow up in a world where everyone has equal opportunity irrespective of gender, it is important to create this space for women issues and women stories, to offset the patriarchal tilt in our mainstream media and society.
