Creating Safe Spaces for women in Tea Gardens

Client : IDH, Netherlands

Production: Rawtales

We had the opportunity to document a powerful initiative by the Women’s Safety Accelerator Fund (WSAF), a program working to build safe and empowering workplaces for women in the tea industry of Assam.

Our film captures stories from the lush tea gardens of Dibrugarh, where women are not just plucking leaves, but reclaiming dignity, rights, and a voice. WSAF, through its collaborative efforts with IDH, Unilever, Tesco, and Twinings, addresses gender-based violence and champions women’s social, economic, and political empowerment. This film is a small window into a much larger movement, one that places women at the heart of change.
