Domestic workers rights are women’s rights

Domestic workers care for children, senior, and people with disabilities. They provide the necessary support so that parents can go to work and seniors and people with disabilities can live at home with dignity. Domestic work is a sector that has been historically linked with the unpaid work of women as caregivers and with the poorlypaid work of immigrants and women of color. Domestic workers were deliberately excluded from New Deal federal-level labor protections to appease Jim Crow senators. More than 70 years later, those exclusions remain, forcing 200,000 CA workers into the shadows. I need feminism because domestic workers rights are women’s rights.
