Middle -aged woman porter. Darjeeling. India. She had already climbed a kilometer up a steep hill carrying this baggage of a family who probably paid her less than a dollar for her work. Note that most of the bags have wheels and could have been wheeled by their owners .....

Amazing image Diane, hard to believe what century we are in, it looks as though all the weight is on her head and neck

The weights carried by porters here are disgusting. I have seen one man carrying a heavy wardrobe (alone) and another with a four seater sofa...just strapped to their heads, and supported on their necks and backs, toiling up and down the very steep twisting roads here.
Disgraceful!

Par la force des choses, obligés de travailler pour nourrir leur famille.
Le gouvernement devrait revoir leur copie pour venir en aide à ces gens, Personnellement, je prends ma valise et me débrouille et leur donne un peu d'argent, je suis contre cette forme d'esclavagisme.
Belle photo représentant bien la vie dure de ces personnes.

I saw women work like this in Africa while the men sat under trees talking. I live like a weak and pampered princess in comparison.

Diana Australis club has replied to Diane Putnam club
Me too.....the life of women in developing countries is a nightmare compared to ours. Apart from the hard work there is also exploitation and total disregard of any human rights for women as equal human beings.

Diane Putnam club has replied to Diana Australis club
Exactly - the worst possible combination of circumstances. That's why the only charities I donate to are specifically to help 3rd world women progress.
