Currently, I work as a union leader in my union organization. I work in defense of the labor rights of domestic workers. I give labor advice ditto union training workshops the love to defend the labor rights of domestic workers has allowed me to focus more every day on what I want to continue doing because I started working at a very young age at 9 years old as a domestic worker. I worked all my youth and childhood without any guarantee. I was affiliated with an EPS I never had a decent salary. My labor or human rights in this sector were never recognized, and this has led me to work in defense of the women who are currently carrying out this work to make them feel proud. And they feel supported and that all the labor guarantees are fulfilled as human beings are and women fighters at present, I am part of the direct dialogues with the Ministry of Labor.
