Trinitea’s Post

While we work towards a sustainable future for the Indian tea industry, it’s important we pay attention to the female workforce, who often drives tea farming and processes in the background. Almost 50% of the workforce on tea farms and plantations is made up of women, mostly daily workers, with a small percentage of them being tea farmers and landowners. Most of the tea plucking is done by women on tea farms, as they are considered to be better and swifter with their slender hands. The long working hours, combined with handling household chores, take a toll on their health and livelihood. They face limited advancement opportunities, lack representation in the larger scheme of things, or cannot find support for their education and healthcare needs. This International Women’s Day, we want to highlight the plight women face to the various stakeholders in the tea industry and work together to address these challenges for a truly sustainable future. . . . #trinitea #sustainability #tealovers #tea #chai #opportunity #education #healthcare #womensday #women #highlight
