lockdown feelings of a domestic worker
Answers
Explanation:
Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic gripped India, one of the worst affected sections in society have been domestic workers. Not only did lakhs lose their livelihood without warning due to the nationwide lockdown, but even when restrictions eased, many haven't been able to return to their jobs because physical distancing is still advised.
For those who have been permitted to return to work, discriminatory policies have followed in many places, with domestic workers not being allowed to use the lifts in buildings or to sit in common areas.
Much of this is premised that workers are ‘dirty’ and could infect the employers, when in reality, employers are as likely to carry the Covid virus.
one problem domestic workers are facing is that they have been left hanging by employers.
Even those who tell the workers to not come for work have some responsibility towards them.
Activists say that more than anything, the government needs to step up to ensure that domestic workers are under the social security ambit, those eligible among them are given pension, have access to ration regardless of whether they have a ration card and are able to access healthcare services at Public Healthcare Centres to be able to tide over the pandemic.
