There are around 2 million Tajik migrants in Russia. Majority lives and works there illegally, and is often treated as cheap work labor without basic rights. Tajik men leave their country for not-so-friendly-to-them Russia to make money, because here in Tajikistan the unemployment rate is huge. People from Central Asia usually take jobs that Russians wouldn't agree to, like cleaning the streets, or construction.
The results of this migration are disastrous for the country. Away from the "control" of their families and the society (it's a pretty conservative country), Tajik men return home as drug or alcohol addicts. The rates of HIV/AIDS raises quickly for the same reasons. Very often men never come back, leaving their wives and children earn their living by themselves. They live in hostile conditions in Russia, with nationalists demanding that they leave, and unfair employers treating them with little respect. With this said, 70% of Tajikistan's economy lays on the money that the migrants send home.
These women, were working in a bazaar in Dushanbe. Probably they get pennies for what they do, but they didn't look unhappy. Maybe because they're treated better in their own country.
And here is one more thing I've wanted to write about since the time we were in Bangladesh. In average, a person working in the factories that make branded clothing to be exported to Europe mainly, earn about $50 a month. I suppose the women on this photo make slightly more than that, but still, is it enough? Next time you (and I) buy another blouse from a nice, clean brand store, maybe we should give it a thought - one blouse we buy costs as much as a worker in a country like Bangladesh lives on (with family) for a whole month. I always think about it, whenever I read "Made in Bangladesh" on the label. It doesn't prevent me from buying the clothes, it just makes me wonder...
Thanks for your visit and have a great day!
Ten hours
This outfit was intended as a tango-transition: the double-dress for work and just the bandage dress for tango. But, boo, hiss, I had to work late and miss dance class.
Once again, this denim dress comes to the rescue and turns a date dress into a work dress. Usually, I wear a blazer over the floral bandage dress to disguise just how bodycon it is. An overdress works even better.
Denim dress, American Rag (thrifted). Floral dress, Adrianna Papell (consignment). Shoes, Nine West. Earrings, Green Tree Jewelry.
Eastbound empty grain train G846 climbs the hump at Carvel Alberta and begins the downhill descent to Edmonton. The freight has just left the current end of double track, however in the near future the double track will be extended all the way into Edmonton.
A real wow factor taking place at Campsie golf course just now. This fabulous mural of Robert Millar wearing his polka-dot Tour de France climber's jersey is underway by the famed ROGUEONER artist. Here he is checking the work so far. It's a really dramatic piece of art, situated at the bottom of the Crow Road where Robert Millar used to train when he was a member of the Glasgow Wheelers. He says it should be finished next week sometime. Can't wait to see the finished result. It's being sponsored by East Dunbartonshire Council. It's on the gable end of Drew Wilson's bike-fitting shop. I'll get a photo of the finished artwork next week.
