As climate change impacts hit farming, women driven into gruelling sugarcane work have the procedure to work harder, report says

NEW DELHI - Drought is driving poor Indian women into exploitative sugarcane work in the central state of Maharashtra, with many of the migrant labourers opting to undergo unnecessary hysterectomies to work even harder, research showed on Thursday.

Years of failed monsoons, extreme heat and droughts have led residents of Beed, a district in the top sugar-producing state to leave and become day labourers on sugar plantations, said the report by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), a London-based think-tank.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Wow, what a crock.  This is almost the ultimate left wing scam of an article.  Looks like a Left Wing Journalism 101 piece.

All in one article covering...

1. Climate change
2. Women most affected
3. Migrant Plight
4. Harsh "exploitive"  working conditions
5. Reproductive Health

You can't make this shit up.   :silly:
