Freeset Freeset is a business in one of Kolkata's red-light districts where thousands of women and girls work as prostitutes. Women who choose to work at Freeset receive training to sew jute bags for export. They work an eight-hour day and receive on-the-job literacy lessons.

Every Freeset bag tells a story - the story of one woman's journey to freedom. She still lives and works in the same area, but instead of selling her body, she now makes and sells Freeset bags. By purchasing one of these jute tote bags, you become part of the story of freedom.
