Priyasha’s story – freedom in Kolkata

Freeset and Freedom.  Take a moment to listen to Priyasha’s story, one of the many women we sat with in Kolkata. Freeset is a fair trade business offering employment to women trapped in Kolkata’s sex trade. They make quality jute bags and organic cotton t-shirts, but their real business is freedom!  They would like to see the 10,000 sex workers in their neighborhood empowered with the choice of leaving a profession they never chose in the first place.

Yet the temperature statements were not lost on them, they knew what lukewarm…
