For those who don't know what we're on about - we're living in Kolkata for a year helping out an organisation called Freeset (see www.freesetglobal.com for the story). They work with women coming out of forced prostitution in Sonagacchi, one of the largest red-light districts in India. The women are trained to sew jute bags and employed, giving them a genuine economic alternative to the sex industry, and providing a future free from it for them and their families. It's pretty sweet.
