Protect 300 girls from Child domestic work in Peru

This first Sunday of July we returned with the workshop:  Home, efficient care.

We carry out the workshop on how to do a good job interview.

The domestic workers were very happy because they were able to practice their interview.

We talk about why a job interview is important. We also asked them why they chose the employment agency La Casa de Panchita SAC and they mostly answered that it was because of the good treatment they receive there.

We learned what things we must agree on in the job interview so that the conditions are the best possible.

We also talked about what we should say to the employer so that he knows me.

We also did relaxation exercises so they wouldn't be so nervous.

Here are a couple of videos about what I worked on.

On Sunday, May 21, we had our TITA workshop (Theatrical improvisation and expressive arts workshop for domestic workers).

We were expecting eleven women who had confirmed their attendance. But only six of them arrived: Estela, Flor, Graciela, Leidy, Minia and María Elena.

As the workshop lasts three hours we decided to do the check in meeting each other, it was the best decision we could do.

Each one told a bit of their story, six mobilizing stories, of struggle, of suffering, of courage, of loss, of death, but also of resilience, resistance, survival.

They were difficult stories to tell, but this TITA group has already been working together for five months and there is confidence in the group.

After listening to the stories, we gave each other a group hug. It was a very emotional and beautiful moment, feeling the support of the group in that hug.

Then we watched the video that has been made about this workshop and that was presented for the first time internationally on May 16 at the 2nd Latin American Fair RECONEXIÓN, organized by RED COLLABORAR, which is a community of civil society organizations from Latin America and the Caribbean and to which AGTR belongs.

We closed the space by creating a poem among all of us about the sensations or images that this meeting had left and then we finished by making a circle very close to each other and giving ourselves massages.

I share the poem that emerged:

Beautiful meeting of women, tears, laughter, shared stories.

Love that grows in community.

Thanks to life, today I know situations like mine, shared pain. Learning.

Shared experiences, I know that we are important warrior women, despite our experiences of each one, we keep going.

One day of sadness, we talked about ills but there was also relaxation because we laughed too.

Today I am very happy to share my experiences with my friends.

When I'm in TITA my emotions flow

I feel free.

Meeting of emotions and being with friends.
