A woman takes a nap on top of her sacks of straw. I have never seen so many women do hard physical labour as I have in Nepal. They don’t just work in the fields with babies strapped to their backs. They move heavy bricks, dig up roads, and carry huge weights in the traditional triangular baskets that are strapped to their foreheads. And don’t forget they do this in pink saris or floating pants suits.  Exhausting!
