Freeset Bags & Apparel is a fair trade business offering employment to approximately 195 women who were trapped in Kolkata's sex trade. Founded by Kerry and Annie Hilton in 2001, Freeset offers women of the Sonagacchi red-light district of Kolkata the opportunity to leave a profession they never chose. Making jute and cotton bags as well as organic cotton T-shirts, the women of Freeset are empowered to choose a life free from prostitution. All profits from the business are used for the benefit of the women. When they first start at Freeset, many women struggle to sew or even do simple tasks. It is not uncommon for new trainees to produce bags sewn inside out and upside down. The trauma they have experienced in their lives often makes learning difficult so they easily forget what they have learned.〔http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/voices/20150720〕 Freeset also employs a handful of men. == References == *Cadacio, Jodeal (13/11/2009).
