Accountability for the right to health of female tea plantation workers in Sri Lanka

Abstract

This study focuses on a particular human right- the right to health in the tea plantation sector. This study sets out an ethnography study for a developing new form of an account of health in a tea plantation company. Drawing from Bourdieu’s practice theory to understand the way in which corporate accountability for the right to health is practised day-to-day in the tea plantations and how these practices impact the workers, this study takes a Sri Lankan tea plantation company and analyses the accounting and accountability practices of the company. This research uncovers the underlying structures of symbolic violence in the tea plantation field and misrecognition in the forms of progressive movements for human rights
