The Big Picture Ep3 Politics Of Gender & Medicine

On #InternationalDayofActionForWomensHealth and as part of our theme this month, focusing on labor rights of women and reproductive justice we spoke with Roula Seghaier from International Domestic Workers Federation, Tejaswi Sevekari from Saheli Sangh and our alumni Youth Champion from Indonesia, Ignatia Glory. From establishing the indispensable role that domestic workers play in the lives of many people across the world, to the human rights violation faced by sex workers due to criminalization of their work in India, to the politics of abortion services being accessible while also restricted for Indonesian women, this was definitely a 'big picture' conversation, proving why reproductive justice is a human rights issue!

We spoke with Fish Ep from International Domestic Worker's Federation and Jec Sernande, Leader of Progressive Labor Union of Domestic Workers (Hong Kong)* regarding some of the reproductive rights and services accessible to domestic workers in Philippines and how it can be used as a tool to limit mobility of female workers. Workers migrating from different countries in hope for better work opportunities, not only face separation from family, but have also deal with racial and sexual discrimination. Things have certainly been more challenging with the onset of COVID19, the stigma around it, lockdown, loss of job and food security. 
Listen in to the full conversation.
