We must continue, not just one day a year #internationalwomensday - Women wait to have tea leaves they plucked weighed at a tea plantation in West Bengal, India. Whenever you sip a cup of tea, give thanks in most humble sincerity to these women and hundreds of thousands more. In kindness to those who tirelessly pluck leaves with their barehands, 9 hours a day, 6 days. week, for an average of $2.20........per day. -

I've heard that in order to cope mentally and emotionally the people of India adopt the attitude "this life I'm a tea picker" (for example) could be taxi driver, brick carrier....etc does this religious belief that - the next life will be better just maintains the status quo and though social change including fair pay etc will be a long time coming. Very sad... and even though we pay up to $5 for a cup of tea, we are also being slaves to a broken system... "the rich get richer". Not only do you take beautiful photographs you raise awareness about social issues. Thank you John 🌟

Hi @johnstanmeyer Coincidentally I’d also documented a series of these women in West Bengal. I also post it on my Instagram on #internationalwomensday and share the exact wage info like you. I still cannot understand why they only put women to do this hardest job. I like your work, it means something and worth to follow for me.

I admire a strong woman no matter what she does for a living. They work hard to survive. It would be great to give them so much more. When I drink my cup of tea I will appreciate what they have done for my quiet moment. I look forward to paying this forward. I bow down to them.🙏
