The situation of paid domestic workers in Ecuador has been, and continues to be, a critical issue. Despite the knowledge that our rights as humans and workers are being violated on a daily basis, many of us choose to endure conditions of abuse, exploitation, and discrimination because of economic necessity and our responsibility to take care of our families.
We must educate our children, as we do not want them to be subjected to the same work conditions, humiliation, and abuse.
