Stories of migrant women
Migration has been a much-discussed topic in the Netherlands for years. The discussion about this is becoming increasingly fierce and inhumane. Initially, this focused on asylum seekers, but now it applies to all migrants. As a result, the voices of various groups of migrants disappear. Everyone has their own story, background, dreams and problems. This is especially true for women who work as migrants.
The position of women
These women are not only judged on their residence permit, but also on their role as cheap laborers. Capitalism and imperialism need oppressive systems. This devalues the work of certain groups. Consider the situation in Indonesia, where women were only allowed to do administrative and domestic work. They received almost nothing in return. Due to the low valuation of their work in their own country, they seek a 'better future' abroad.
The confrontation with oppression
But also in countries like the Netherlands, they are confronted with the same oppression. They end up in uncertain working conditions and poor living conditions. The systems of oppression originate here. Are you interested in the stories of these women? Visit the event and use the link for tickets.
