Sugar-Cane Industry Exploitation Of Indian Women & Geopolitical Significance Of Greenland — Your Call 10am PT

On today’s Your Call One Planet Series, we’ll discuss a New York Times / Fuller Project investigation about human rights abuses in India’s Sugar Industry.

The investigation reveales that household-name companies and Indian politicians profit off a brutal system that forces children to work, pushes them into underage marriages and coerces women to get unnecessary hysterectomies to keep them working in the fields, unencumbered by menstruation or routine ailments.

Joining us will be Megha Rajagopalan, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative correspondent for the New York Times.

Then later in the show, we’ll discuss US imperial ambitions in Greenland. In his latest article In These Times, journalist and guest Adam Federman, reporting fellow with Type Investigations and author of “Fasting and Feasting: The Life of Visionary Food Writer Patience Gray,” writes that in recent years, both Democratic and Republican administrations have cast Greenland as central to U.S. security in the Arctic and squarely within America’s sphere of influence.
