&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sugarcane labour contractors run a system that discriminates against women by appearing to be gender-neutral&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After all, it is not genital mutilation. Or vagina sealing. Those are some of the agonizing traditional rituals for girls in various countries intended to make them attractive to men and sexually faithful to their husbands. Attempts to put an end to these practices began in the 1970s, and the United Nations requested healthcare workers in the relevant areas to ensure that they do not continue. In comparison, the practice of getting women cane-cutters in the Beed district of Maharashtra to rid themselves of the womb after having two or three children is refreshingly modern and scientifically carried out. Contractors employing them claim they do not force the women to do this. Reports indicate that they just give the workers an advance for hysterectomy which is later deducted. Since their system treats couples as one unit, days of work lost for menstruation attract heavy fines. Migrant labourers, who get work only during the cane cutting season and must subsist on the season&amp;rsquo;s wages for the whole year, cannot afford such losses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is not a primitive ritual; it is a modern-day form of heartless exploitation of women for the material benefit of others. What is truly primitive about it is the poverty that compels the sacrifice of a part of the woman&amp;rsquo;s body. As primitive is the lack of education: women have no inkling of the dangers of needless hysterectomy. There is also a simmering propaganda about the possibilities of cancer in the womb to which they are deliberately exposed. The racket clearly involves doctors who have no qualms about removing healthy wombs &amp;mdash; the rewards must be satisfactory &amp;mdash; and has the full support of husbands who use their wives as the means to produce children first and then earn money. The contractors run a system that discriminates against women by appearing to be gender-neutral.&lt;br /&gt;

Contractors employing them claim they do not force the women to do this. Reports indicate that they just give the workers an advance for hysterectomy which is later deducted. Since their system treats couples as one unit, days of work lost for menstruation attract heavy fines. Migrant labourers, who get work only during the cane cutting season and must subsist on the season&amp;rsquo;s wages for the whole year, cannot afford such losses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not a primitive ritual; it is a modern-day form of heartless exploitation of women for the material benefit of others. What is truly primitive about it is the poverty that compels the sacrifice of a part of the woman&amp;rsquo;s body. As primitive is the lack of education: women have no inkling of the dangers of needless hysterectomy. There is also a simmering propaganda about the possibilities of cancer in the womb to which they are deliberately exposed. The racket clearly involves doctors who have no qualms about removing healthy wombs &amp;mdash; the rewards must be satisfactory &amp;mdash; and has the full support of husbands who use their wives as the means to produce children first and then earn money.

What is truly primitive about it is the poverty that compels the sacrifice of a part of the woman&amp;rsquo;s body. As primitive is the lack of education: women have no inkling of the dangers of needless hysterectomy. There is also a simmering propaganda about the possibilities of cancer in the womb to which they are deliberately exposed. The racket clearly involves doctors who have no qualms about removing healthy wombs &amp;mdash; the rewards must be satisfactory &amp;mdash; and has the full support of husbands who use their wives as the means to produce children first and then earn money.

Or vagina sealing. Those are some of the agonizing traditional rituals for girls in various countries intended to make them attractive to men and sexually faithful to their husbands. Attempts to put an end to these practices began in the 1970s, and the United Nations requested healthcare workers in the relevant areas to ensure that they do not continue. In comparison, the practice of getting women cane-cutters in the Beed district of Maharashtra to rid themselves of the womb after having two or three children is refreshingly modern and scientifically carried out. Contractors employing them claim they do not force the women to do this. Reports indicate that they just give the workers an advance for hysterectomy which is later deducted. Since their system treats couples as one unit, days of work lost for menstruation attract heavy fines. Migrant labourers, who get work only during the cane cutting season and must subsist on the season&amp;rsquo;s wages for the whole year, cannot afford such losses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not a primitive ritual; it is a modern-day form of heartless exploitation of women for the material benefit of others.
