Dalton, Meg, “Domestic Workers Hit Hard By the COVID-19 Pandemic, (13:49) March 2021.
According to the article in our reading “90 percent of Spanish-speaking domestic workers they surveyed lost jobs due to COVID 19”. Spanish speaking workers, have a substantial wage gap opposed to other cultures. Latinas get hit the hardest with the wage gap especially domestic workers for example, home health workers, nannies, household cleaning services, Domestic work jobs are, strenuous, exhausting, and these types of jobs are devalued by most people, because it does not require a college degree and most people believe these workers are not educated enough for equal pay. I believe these jobs to be the hardest in labor than most jobs and is not respected enough in the work force.
According to the amendment on equal rights, we have the right to be treated and respected as equals, no matter the culture, religion, gender, you are. Paul, Alice (ERA Digital History) Feminist 1923, on Equal Rights Amendment Digital History ID 4069 Quote: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the U.S or any other state on account of sex.” we have equal rights as one of the amendments but should be a violation of human rights and anyone who opposes should trialed as a criminal for violating the law. I believe equal rights should be obeyed across the board for, gender equal pay, liberation of women oppression, and equal job opportunities.
What I would like to understand, that we know the inequalities but what are the solutions to change it. Something must be done to honor the women, people of color, gender gap, included in the equal rights amendments, and if this the case -then our amendments are lies told by our government to shut the mouths of those individuals that suffer from this atrocity. When I see the wage gap according to gender and culture, it angers me just knowing that I am a Latina and would never get paid what I am worth. God said our humanness and our worth is bigger than we think.
The government will go as far as we let them if we do not fight this evil. Our leaders need to be analyzed mentally to decide the common sense that most of them lack. This concept of injustice affects many female Americans, especially female Latin Americans today. The leaders of this country are involved because we have not seen this issue change throughout history. We can never grow as individuals who are part of this wonderful country, and it just goes to show we are not so different from other countries. Women are seen as a lower class of human than males, in which is ignorant just to think about. Furthermore, most people perish from lack of understanding. There is a division in our country, and it is a tremendous crisis we have at hand. Hopefully, we will see change with fast changing world. This is my prayer to God.
