International Domestic Workers Federation reposted this
“From the moment that a human being comes to this life, we need care. And the moment that we die, we need care. From womb to tomb." Care can affirm or scatter, assuage or undermine both care workers and care recipients worldwide. The global care economy is underwritten by exploitation on both sides of the equation. Care support is inaccessible and unaffordable for too many recipients, and care work is violent and unsustainable for too many workers. This Ford Foundation blog spotlights how the National Domestic Workers Alliance and International Domestic Workers Federation are building the power and leadership of domestic workers the world over, pioneers who are shaping a more just care economy. I'm inspired by the insights and advocacy of June Barrett and Adriana Paz Ramírez who are profiled in this piece, along with Ford colleagues Ghada Abdel Tawab and Livia Y. Lam, Ph.D. on the role philanthropy must play to support these efforts. #LaborRightsWeek
Ahead of #LaborDay, we must remember the critical role millions of care workers play in supporting families and communities. Despite the essential nature of their work, these workers who are overwhelmingly women of color face low wages, lack of labor protections, and even exploitation. Across the globe, organizations like the National Domestic Workers Alliance and the International Domestic Workers Federation are building the leadership of care workers, ensuring their voices are central in shaping a just and equitable care economy. Learn how we're supporting innovations in care advocacy, and the role philanthropy must play to invest in these efforts: https://lnkd.in/eZRWf8su
