Tea Estate Workers's Struggle For Higher Daily Wages

This photograph taken on Tuesday 5 February 2019 shows the hands of a married Sri Lankan Tamil ethnic female tea plantation worker covering a knife she uses during the process of plucking tea near a tea factory at Hatton, Nuwara Eliya district some 121 Kms away from capital city, Colombo, Sri Lanka.
