Dust and Dignity

More about the book

The book explores the persistent exploitation of domestic workers, highlighting three main reasons: the devaluation of social reproduction tasks, the lack of regulation in informal work arrangements, and inherent class inequalities in this employment sector. Drawing on a case study in collaboration with Ecuador's pioneering domestic workers' organization, it offers theoretical insights and practical solutions aimed at improving the lives of women in this field. The content is designed to engage advocates, policymakers, and academics alike.
