What Women Want- Interview with Female Construction Worker

Happy International Women's Day! 

Though we are a bit late, we would like to wish everyone a very Happy International Women's Day! Durga didi has been working on a construction site for the last 10-15 years, and has been working with the same contractor for the last 7 years. She has 4 grown children and wishes for them to do well, and not enter the line of work they are in. She hails from MP and came here with her husband in search of work. 

There are many people like Durga didi who are not as fortunate to have found a good contractor. Many get cheated or are not paid to their fair wages. There are hopes and there are aspirations. Durga didi is very clear in her motives and aspirations for her children, so it makes me proud that at least no hope or dreams are lost in the vicious cycle of circumstances and poverty.
