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.

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.
