“If somebody would have said to me 45 years ago that I would have sat here today and really get to the end of slavery, I would not have believed them. But 45 years ago, I was sitting in my employer’s garage and I was organizing domestic workers. Today I’m here." Myrtle Witbooi is President of the International Domestic Worker Federation (IDWF), a membership-based global organization run by women that strives to protect and advance domestic workers’ rights everywhere. Here she is speaking about Jennifer Fish's new book, Domestic Workers of World Unite!, which explores the lives of the domestic workers and their struggle for international human and workers’ rights.
