Tea Break with Ianny

Of all the May Day rallies around the world, the one in Kolkata must have raised the most eye brows.

It was attended by thousands of prostitutes demanding labour law coverage.

They decry the government’s violation of human rights – I think they really mean their rights to trade.  Constant harassment by the police affects the clientele base they worked so hard to build.

It is strange.  Theirs is the world’s oldest profession.  If at all any occupation benefit or protection could be structured for them, shouldn’t these already be well in place by now?
