Ai-jen Poo at TEDWomen 2018 (transcript)
The work that makes all other work possible
Summary
In this article, the work is the domestic workers doing. It’s difficult for them to receive fair wages because your nannies, wife, and children must do the work that is the elder-care, house clean and other chores. If people hire them, they sometimes never pay and among them, there are children who can’t go to school.
The speaker helps those children to escape, she suggests that domestic workers are not slaves, they also have the right to get proper benefits, to go to school, and not to be sold.
If in your home, the domestic worker is no longer working, you can’t go to your work. It’s become the title. Do you hire them with love and moral choices?
We need to reconsider the domestic work and workers because they do housework thus we can go to work.
P.S.
I have something that I’m really worried about in this article. It’s that the speaker mentioned about the children reaching the US-Mexico border. She said that they are separated from their parents, though, the story and this problem aren’t related about housework. It’s because those children must go there with their parents deliberately. Parents who don’t want to raise children or can’t do it know that children can eat there. Trump administration uses much money for that and governments go to the countries where those parents had lived in to tell migrants.
“From your counties, many immigrants come to borders, rehabilitation centers were built, and countries should cooperate” However, it continues neglecting, though, the media that doesn't like Trump said that he separated children from their parents. Each country should protect own country’s citizens.
