"Who are you calling helpless!"

BBC is bound for the northern states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar...

Majboor Kisko Bola! ("Who are you calling helpless!") is a thoughtful radio programme produced by the BBC WST to educate vulnerable North Indian populations on labour rights, government programmes and the risks of entering into bonded labour agreements.

Thank you BBC for giving a voice to this issue! We would love to see your work reach similarly vulnerable peoples in South India someday soon! http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/trust/whatwedo/where/asia/india/2010/05/100507_india_bonded_labour_majboor.shtml

  1. Yes! I'm in touch with the BBC's research officer and she's received reports of listeners exercising their collective bargaining power to negotiate for minimum wage! Hope for Change!
