tents, hen houses and cow sheds.
Women and children are forced

the snow, their feet cut and bleed

A woman was evicted from her
home, a mining company cottage,
Just before she gave birth to a
child. The schild was born in a
leaky tent, while an umbrella was
held over the mother.
A man, i'll because he was forced
to lie for days in water in the
low tunnel of a mine while work
