2017 BAG LOOKBOOK

exists for the many women who have never had the choice to be free. We care about the thousands in West Bengal who are vulnerable to sex trafficking. These women don’t get to choose their occupation, and we want to change that. We make bags, tees and hand-woven fabrics, and love that we are part of India’s long history of cotton and jute products. We really love journeying with more than 200 outstanding women who have chosen freedom. You’re not just buying a Freeset product. Your choice creates theirs.

TRUST

I could never trust the people of the

community I grew up with. However, now

I can trust the women I work with and

call them my friends. I know they are not

judgemental and want the best for me.

Freeset has given me the community I

can trust.

FREEDOM

It is my dream to see all the women

free from the line. Freeset exists and is

growing continually because it provides

freedom. I believe one day there will be

no red light area, as all the women will be

working at Freeset. Sometime in future

people will know Ram Bagan as “Mukti

Bagan” (freedom garden).

এটা আমার �� েয সব মিহলারা লাইন েথেক মুি� পােব। �ীেসট এেতা বেড়া হে� কারন েস মিহলােদর লাইন েথেক মুি� িদে�। আমার িব�াস েয একিদন এমন আসেব েয একজনও েযৗন কম�ী থাকেব না। লাইন েছেড় সব মিহলারা �ীেসেট কাজ করেব। ভিবষ�েত রাম বাগান েক েলােক মুি�র বাগান বেল জানেব।

RESPECT

My family and relatives respect me

because I do good work at a respectable

company like Freeset Fabrics. My

proudest moment was when my father

told my mother in front of me that I’m as

capable as a son to provide for the family.
