Nous avons un rêve qu’un jour tout travail sera valorisé de manière égale.
Fondé en 2000, Travailleuses Domestiques Unies (DWU) est une organisation de nannies, femmes de ménages et aides personnes âgées a New York, provenant des Caraïbes, Amérique Latine et d’Afrique qui s’organisent pour atteindre le pouvoir, le respect, des normes de travail équitables, et pour aider dans la croissance d’un mouvement qui mettrait fin a l’exploitation et a l’oppression pour tous et toutes.
