Presents
Unacknowledged Labor: Women & Work in Rural India
A photo exhibition and seminar
by
P. Sainath
Wong Auditorium & Lobby
Tuesday, April 23 12:00 -9:00PM
Reception 6:00 PM Seminar 6:30PM
P. Sainath was the first journalist in the world to win Amnesty International's Global Human Rights Journalism prize in its inaugural year (2000). He also won the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) prestigious Boerma award for work of 'international importance in addressing the issues of hunger.'
His book "Everybody Loves a Good Drought" described as "the conscience of the Indian nation" remained the No.1 (non-fiction) bestseller by an Indian author through much of 1997-98.
The photographs, shot by him show the astonishing labor that poor women put in every day of their lives. The photos record that labour as it unfolds daily from the fields of Kalahandi and Rayagada in Orissa to the brick kilns of Vizianagaram in Andhra Pradesh. From the forests of Chattisgarh to the quarries of south Tamil Nadu. From the night soil workers of Rajasthan, to women keeping the local economy going in Jharkhand. The women make a gigantic contribution to the national economy. A contribution worth, literally, billions of dollars.
