JUSTIFICATION OF YOUR NEED

WOMEN AND CARE
  • To make visible and address the intersectional inequalities experienced by the group from the voices, stories and visions of the group itself,

  • Recognize and make visible the diversity present as a source of wealth and also as a need for inclusive policies that consider this diversity,

  • Defend the labor and social rights of domestic and care workers,

  • Encourage the training of the group with innovative, inclusive and politically relevant methodologies,

  • Raise awareness and involve the public in these issues that the group in particular suffers from and that affect us all,

  • Network, support and strengthen the work of local groups and entities.

Women working in the care and home sector suffer from a situation of legal and institutional precariousness, impoverishment and invisibility that on the one hand puts obstacles in their way to access the most basic rights as workers, and on the other hand positions them in a situation of vulnerability in the face of sexist aggression, harassment and lack of social and legal spaces to deal with such violence.
