Project Report | Jun 21, 2016
Advocacy of CDW's rights at La Casa de Panchita

By Blanca Figueroa | Project Leader

Vote for child domestic workers!
Vote for child domestic workers!

Dear supporters,

May and June have been quite busy months. On June 5th Peru elected the new President of the Republic.

Members of five groups of teenage and young adult domestic workers, trained and assessed by AGTR, gathered at La Casa de Panchita and reflected on what they wanted to do ask the new president. We would like to share with you the hopes of those children who work "at home".

Since 2009 we have worked with them and they not only come frequently to LCP but motivate other girls to participate in our activities. We feel proud of their ability to express their ideas and feelings. These are their messages full of hope:

  • More educational and recreational spaces for children!
  • No more children under 14 years old working!
  • Higher and better employment for parents, so that children won’t have to work!
  • Free family planning counselling! 
  • Harder measures against employers of underage workers (14 years old, according to Peruvian law)!

We would like to thank you for your support in raising funds towards ensuring a safe space for child domestic workers in Lima, Peru!

 

Sincerely,

Blanca Figueroa
