women UNITE

These are the women I have been working with while here. They are domestic workers who have organized a union...this is an amazing feat in India, as these women are of a low caste, and many women in their situation would never question authority or demand power. I have already followed these women to a politician's office and the police station, demanding stricter laws on alcohol distribution in their neighborhoods...apparently their husbands are drunks (sound familiar?) The woman in green is explaining she just had a fight with her husband the night before, as he had sold their belongings to buy alcohol. These women work in wealthy family homes, and make about $1 US/day.
