Keeping streets clean, India

August 31, 2011 — Selected for the Rainmakers exhibit.

“An early morning sight of a woman sweeping the streets of an educational institution in Mumbai. Women have been historically pushed to the margins in the caste hierarchy… . This is particularly the case with the many women who choose or are forced to serve this country by cleaning its streets and sewers. The citizens of this country will never be able to repay the debt they owe to these workers.”
