March 30, International Day of Domestic Workers

By Agata Zumaeta | Project Leader

El 30 de marzo es el Día Internacional de las Trabajadoras del Hogar.

AGTR ha organizado dos actividades para celebrarlo:

Un evento de tres días sobre cine, mujeres y trabajo donde vimos documentales que narran las historias de mujeres y su impacto: "Sembrando Vidas", "Frida" y "Antuca". Esta última película narra la historia de una trabajadora doméstica y su vida laboral.

El domingo 30 de marzo, participaremos en una feria de empleo organizada por el Ministerio de Trabajo. Allí, contaremos con un stand e informaremos a las mujeres sobre sus derechos laborales. También las invitaremos a participar en nuestros talleres y a la oportunidad de encontrar trabajo con nuestra agencia de empleo, una empresa social de AGTR que nos ayuda a recaudar fondos de forma independiente.

Finalmente, queremos recordarles que participamos en la campaña Poco a Poco, que finaliza mañana. Esperamos que puedan participar con una pequeña donación.

Saludos,

Urgent Situation at AGTR

By Agata Zumaeta | Project Leader

Report to Donors – Urgent Situation at AGTR

Dear donors,

With a heavy heart, we want to share news that directly impacts our work and the women and girls we support. On March 4, 2025, the International American Foundation (IAF), a U.S.-based organization that funded AGTR’s only project, was shut down due to new policies under the Trump administration. As a result, our agreement with them has been canceled, and our project has been forced to close.

The IAF was established over fifty years ago to strengthen the United States by fostering security and development in the Western Hemisphere (see 22 U.S.C. 290f). Unfortunately, our grant has been deemed inconsistent with the agency’s priorities. Additionally, the President’s Executive Order of February 19, 2025, mandates that the IAF eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions (see Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217, Feb. 19, 2025). Consequently, the IAF has formally terminated Grant No. PU-602, effective March 4, 2025.

This decision has hit us hard. For 35 years, we have worked tirelessly to defend the rights of domestic workers and protect girls from child domestic labor. Today, we find ourselves without the necessary funds to continue.

We are devastated, but this obstacle will not stop us. We are confident that we will find new opportunities to keep going. However, right now, we urgently need your help to sustain our activities and continue supporting those who need us most.

Every donation makes a difference. Political changes are affecting the lives of thousands across Latin America, and you can help us make an impact. With your support, we can continue working for the well-being of girls and women domestic workers.

Please help us move forward. Your contribution will allow us to keep our mission alive.

With gratitude and hope,
The AGTR – Grupo de Trabajo Redes Team
