Hochreuther, Eva-Maria. "Resistance under repression. The political mobilisation of female migrant domestic workers in Lebanon". Thesis, Malmö universitet, Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS), 2019. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mau:diva-22868.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The aim of this thesis is to understand how the political mobilisation of migrant domestic workers (MDWs) employed in Lebanon started and continued. It also tries to comprehend how some of them could found a politically active collective of MDWs, the Alliance of Domestic Workers in Lebanon (Alliance), by analysing what factors enabled and restrained the open political activism of MDWs from their first steps as activists until now. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with two founding members and seven international and Lebanese organisations, the MDWs´ political mobilisation is chronologically recaptured. Extending Lahusen´s definition of political mobilisation, the thesis critically reflects on Johnston´s concept for protest to evolve in repressive states. The analysis shows that the women activists are left in a lawless position and refer to the free spaces of Lebanese and international non-profit organisations, where their activism begins. These organisations help the women to build up their protest capital, enabling them to start their own group, the Alliance. Within their own group they organise themselves not only against the injustice they experience as MDWs but also emancipate themselves from their dependency on the NGOs. The findings approve that though international and Lebanese organisations have played a crucial part in successfully mobilising the women, the MDWs´ experience of lack of influence inside these free spaces, shapes the group´s actions, collective identity and course. Their political mobilisation can be seen as a long-term, organic process, in which knowledge, collective identity, collective action and experience are tightly interwoven and are the motor behind the members´ activism.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study focuses on the relationship between global economy and women&rsquos labor within a feminist standpoint by examining the personal and occupational experiences of immigrant women doing domestic work in Turkey. The main concern of this study is to investigate how working and living experiences of immigrant domestic women workers in Turkey are shaped by their illegal worker and immigrant status. The aim of this study is to listen to the personal experiences of immigrant domestic women workers from themselves, and understand their working conditions and social life experiences in Turkey. There emerged a trend in trading domestic workers between the poor and rich countries since 1990s where many parties, including governments, illegal recruitment agencies, and individual employers benefited. The high unemployment, poverty, shortfalls in living standards, and loss of government-sponsored public services due to the IMF policies implemented by the governments of developing countries severely affected poor and women. For their family survival, women of developing countries forced to migrate in order to seek domestic work in richer countries, where there is a high demand of middle class women for domestic workers. On the other hand, since domestic work is devalued as informal work, policy-makers do not pay sufficient attention, and provide a legal framework regulating the recruitment process and protecting the rights of immigrant domestic women workers. Therefore, immigrant domestic women workers are in a vulnerable position and open to exploitation due to their illegal and immigrant status. Turkey has been one of the domestic worker exporting countries since early 1990s mostly from post-Soviet countries. However, she neither has bilateral agreements with the sending countries nor a legal framework protecting the rights of immigrant domestic women workers. Hence, immigrant women are subject to arbitrary treatment and exploitation both in their workplace and outside, and remained invisible.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This Master’s thesis explores the intersection of powers that create (in)secure female migration to Lebanon. It contributes to a growing literature corpus about the lives of women, originating from South/ South-East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, who migrate to Lebanon to work in the domestic work sector. Ongoing exploitations of migrant domestic workers (MDWs) under Lebanon’s migration regime, the kafala system, have been documented in detail. Yet, the question about which overlapping powers actually shape the migratory experience of MDWs calls for closer inspection – especially in light of previous unidirectional analyses that seem to obscure the intersectional experiences of migrant women. By uncovering intersecting systems of domination and subordination, this analysis aims to deconstruct oppressive powers and to answer the research question about which powers create (in)secure female migration to Lebanon. This objective is approached through ethnographic-qualitative methods of semi-structured interviewing and participant observation during a seven-week field research in Lebanon. Data contributed by research participants, i.e. MDWs themselves and individuals that have experience in supporting them, are analyzed through an intersectional lens that acknowledges the multifacetedness of MDWs as social beings comprised of overlapping and intersecting dynamic facets. This analysis argues for multiple levels and layers that create an enmeshed web of interacting categories, processes and systems that render female migration insecure. Detected underlying powers range from global forces over specific migration regulations to societal structures that are based on sexism, racism, cultural othering and class differences - amongst others. These forces are impossible to deconstruct in isolation because they function through each other. Their multilevel intersections lead to power imbalances between worker and employer, isolation and invisibility of the former on several levels as well as the commodification, dehumanization and mobility limitations of MDWs. Yet, female labor migrants counter these intersecting powers through creative and dynamic acts of resistance and self-empowerment and, thus, prove that the dismantling of overlapping oppressions calls for intersecting multilevel deconstructions.

Ketema, Naami. "Female Ethiopian Migrant Domestic Workers: An Analysis of Migration, Return-Migration and Reintegration Experiences". Thesis, University of Oregon, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/18495.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study explores the different effects of gendered migration focusing on migration, return migration and reintegration challenges and opportunities facing female Ethiopian migrant returnees from Middle East countries. It looks into the different stages of migration to understand some of the cultural, economic and social transformations women domestic workers experience as immigrants and laborers in the Gulf region and upon their return to Ethiopia. In doing so, the study examines the different ways women try to renegotiate and reintegrate with their families and communities.
In-depth interviews with eighteen women returnees reveal the uneven distribution of experiences and outcomes of gendered migration. However, there exists some consistency in the disruptive and disempowering effect of these experiences in the destination countries that usually extend after return. Post return experiences reveal that the renegotiations of women returnees on issues of reception, economic betterment, relationship rebuilding and exercising agency with families and communities are often stressful, isolating and disempowering.

Cantu, Roselyn. "The Glass Ceiling’s Missing Pieces: Female Migrant Domestic Workers Navigating Neoliberal Globalization in Latin America". Scholarship @ Claremont, 2018. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1820.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis explores globalization’s effects on female migrant domestic workers in Latin America by examining the socioeconomic and political status of Paraguayan and Peruvian domestic workers in Argentina. Through this research, I answer several key questions. First, how does globalization shape neoliberal markets that enforce the exploitative structures of domestic labor? Second, how is gender inequality present in governmental and social discrimination? Third, do the costs of transnational care labor outweigh the benefits? The former two questions are answered by the rising demand for care labor and resulting global care chains that fuel greater cross-border migration and statelessness of female migrants. Additionally, cultural and familial pressures magnify the sexual division of labor and maintain domestic labor’s low social status. Using a gender analysis, I address the last question by concluding that gender inequalities through governmental and social discrimination, plus emotional-familial burdens, outweigh domestic labor’s short-sighted financial prospects and autonomy provided by globalization.

Nesbitt-Ahmed, Zahrah Dominique. "The same, but different : the everyday lives of female and male domestic workers in Lagos, Nigeria". Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2016. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/3359/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This current study explores the everyday lives of male and female domestic workers in Lagos, Nigeria. Drawing on narrative interviews with 63 domestic workers, in-depth semi-structured interviews with 12 employers and fiction-based research, it aims to understand the terrains of struggle and negotiation in the places people work, live and move through on a daily basis. This thesis is also concerned with the ways in which intersecting identities of gender, age, social class and ethnicity shape the experiences of workers. To do this, a framework of everyday life is used, drawing on the work of Susie Scott (2009) that consists of rituals and routines (specific practices), social order (rules that organise these practices) and challenging the taken-for-granted (norm-breaking acts). The three empirical chapters are explored in terms of these three themes. The first one explores how female live-in domestic workers’ everyday experiences of control and resistance are shaped by discourses around perceptions of their sexual availability - which is heavily impacted by the fact that they work and reside within the private space of the home. This is followed by discussions on how female live-outs who are mothers challenge the notion that paid domestic workers should only have obligations to the employing household and not to their own households, but what living out then means for these women – long daily commutes and balancing their paid domestic work with their unpaid domestic responsibilities. The final Chapter analyses how male domestic workers challenge the construction of their masculinity by employers as simultaneously safe and dangerous. Combined, they enable me to make sense of everyday life in paid domestic work and why it is important to do so.

In globalizing cities around the world, middle class women are departing from their traditional domestic roles in child rearing and home management. This activity change creates a large influx of young, single and lower income female workers from developing nations such as the Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia and others into Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur to serve as domestic workers. Because most female domestic foreign workers reside in the employers' homes, they seek a space elsewhere to meet their needs for privacy, familiarity and companionship on non-working days. As a result, there is an emerging phenomenon where large numbers of female foreign domestic workers gather in public spaces around the city to socialize and to enjoy a brief moment of privacy away from their employers. In these spaces, domestic workers form ephemeral cities. They transform public spaces by assigning areas for food consumption and production, areas to conduct recreational activities such as dancing and singing, places to exchange currencies to send back to their homes abroad and other spaces to fulfill their needs in a foreign city. Unfortunately, this phenomenon is often seen by local citizens as a form of nuisance, inconvenience or even threat, thus causing tension and sometimes conflict between locals and foreign workers. In this thesis, I carried out observation studies on FDW gathering sites in Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
(cont.) Through this observation study, I found similar and different physical spatial characteristics across all three cities. Stakeholders also play varying roles in influencing the FDW gathering spaces in these cities. From this comparative study, I learned that the accommodation of FDWs in public spaces varies depending on various factors such as culture, demographics and city branding in each city. With the current exponential growth of transnational foreign domestic labor in the region and world, I hope that this study will inform sustainable humanitarian strategies in accommodating female foreign domestic workers around the world.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Representations of female characters in cinema have the effect of othering the female in front of the viewer’s gaze. Women’s characters are constructed along the lines of their gender and race difference. In this paper I focus entirely on the character of the woman domestic worker in four films: Ilo Ilo, The Second Mother, The Maid, and At Home. The paper aims to provide a different reading of this mostly trivialized character and rethink its otherness by pinpointing it in biopolitical labor and homes of biopower, namely of affect and oppression. I am interested in how labor can reconfigure the domestic space to a heterotopia, or what I call a ‘heterooikos’, which is the space occupied by the other. Finally, I will attempt an analysis that reimagines otherness captured by cinema, by locating, in the film text, techniques of resistance as a countersuggestion to techniques of character identification. My aim is to provide a different way to interact with subaltern subjects in film by recognizing otherness as part of an ethical response.

A presente pesquisa tem como principal eixo analisar como a luta por reconhecimento das trabalhadoras domésticas, no campo do Direito do Trabalho, evidencia o racismo institucional do Estado Brasileiro, por meio de uma inclusão incompleta. Para tanto, inicialmente, discutimos o desenvolvimento histórico do trabalho doméstico no país, partindo dos fundamentos da sociedade brasileira, da confluência de raça, classe e gênero na sua conformação e do debate teórico consolidado, com o intuito de perceber o seu quadro atual de exclusão social. Em seguida, enfocamos a constituição das relações de trabalho no Brasil e o papel que o Estado assumiu para a inserção do país no sistema capitalista e para a formação do trabalho livre como realidade ampla e concreta, com a finalidade de compreender como emerge na sociedade brasileira a temática da cidadania e os seus efeitos para a classe trabalhadora e, mais precisamente, para as trabalhadoras domésticas. Nessa linha, as teorias do reconhecimento, partindo-se de Charles Taylor, Axel Honneth e Nancy Fraser, surgem como substrato teórico consistente para compreender, de um lado, como se estruturam na contemporaneidade as desigualdades históricas incidentes sobre a dinâmica das relações de trabalho doméstico e, por outro lado, como enfrentar os seus dilemas para a desconstrução simbólica e material dessa realidade. Tais teorias articulam desigualdades de cunho socioeconômicos e valores culturais que reproduzem e tornam legítimas o reconhecimento denegado das trabalhadoras domésticas, razão pela qual o debate acerca do racismo institucional se faz necessário. Por fim, cotejamos as mudanças na sua inserção sociojuridica com a agenda de representação sindical, com o propósito de demonstrar como tal agenda se move pelo binômio redistribuição - reconhecimento, sendo que a inclusão incompleta das trabalhadoras domésticas é uma construção cujo substrato regulatório está no Estado brasileiro.
The current research has as its main axis the analysis of how the fight for the female domestic workers’ recognition, in the field of labor law, showcases the institutional racism of the Brazilian State through an incomplete inclusion. To do so, at first we discussed the historical development of domestic labor in the country, from the fundamentals of the Brazilian society, confluence of race, class and gender in its formation; and from the consolidated theoretical debate, aiming to notice its current state of social exclusion. Then, we focused on the constitution of the work relations in Brazil and the role that the State assumed towards the insertion of the country in the capitalist system and for the formation of free labor as a wide and concrete reality. The goal was to understand how the theme of citizenship comes up in the Brazilian society as well as its effects for the working class and, more precisely, for the female domestic workers. Thus, the theories of recognition, from Charles Taylor, Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser emerge as a consistent theoretical framework to understand, on the one hand, how the historical iniquities that strike the dynamics of domestic labor relations are structured. On the other hand, they help us understand how to face their dilemmas for the symbolic and material deconstruction of such reality. Those theories articulate socioeconomic iniquities and cultural values that reproduce and legitimize the recognition that is denied for the female domestic workers – which is the reason why the debate about institutional racism is necessary. Lastly, we connected the changes in the sociojuridical insertion of the female domestic workers with their agenda of union representation, aiming to show how such agenda moves through the binomial redistribution-recognition. The incomplete inclusion of those workers is a construction whose regulatory framework lies in the Brazilian State.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study examined the relationship between domestic abuse, belongingness, and depressive symptoms in a community sample of 71 female primary care patients. As expected, domestic abuse was associated with greater depressive symptoms. Results from conducting mediation analyses, including bootstrapping techniques, provided strong convergent support for a model in which the hypothesized effect of domestic abuse on depressive symptoms in women is mediated by a loss of belongingness. Noteworthy, even after controlling for content overlap between measures of belongingness and depressive symptoms, the mediation model remained significant. Some implications of the present findings are discussed.

CAPES
Esta pesquisa investiga as trabalhadoras domésticas de Recife e Salvador, suas experiências, suas lutas, sua formação enquanto classe, a precariedade de suas vidas, na conjuntura emancipacionista dos anos finais do século XIX e iniciais do século XX. Através da literatura de ficção, de processos criminais e cíveis, de anúncios de jornais, de documentação oficial, busco reconstituir as experiências de vida de domésticas negras, mestiças e brancas, escravas, livres e libertas. Argumento que essas domésticas agenciaram suas vidas em contextos de precariedade, mas que lograram produzir experiências de uma identidade de classe em formação. Elas não apenas estavam se formando enquanto classe unicamente a partir de suas próprias experiências. Os textos literários produzidos por escritores e memorialistas baianos e pernambucanos buscaram increvê-las em lugares sociais e raciais subalternos, adstritos aos valores paternalistas e escravistas ainda resistentes ao avanço de regras formais de relações de trabalho. Mas apesar da riqueza das fontes literárias na produção e disseminação de valores de submissão e do lugar subalterno do trabalho doméstico, defendo que o conjunto de experiências sociais das mulheres que a ele nos anos pré e pós-emancipação põem em suspeição imagens idílicas que associam serviço doméstico a servilismo, à harmonia entre patrões e empregadas. Por fim, e apesar do foco na formação de classe, reconstitui experiências mais amplas de conflitos populares cotidianos nos quais as domésticas tiveram participação, por acreditar que não é só na relação de trabalho que uma classe se forma. This research investigates female domestic workers in Recife and Salvador, their experiences, their struggles, their formation as a class and the precariousness of their lives, in the emancipation conjuncture of the final years of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Through literature, fiction, criminal and civil lawsuits, newspaper advertisements and official documentation, I try to reconstitute the life experiences of black, half-breed and white domestics, slaves, free and manumitted. I argue that those domestics managed their lives in contexts of precariousness, but somehow succeeded to produce experiences of a class identity in formation. They not only were forming themselves as a class just from their own experiences. Literary texts produced by writers and memoirists from Bahia and Pernambuco tried to put them in social and racial subordinate places, attached to paternalistic and proslavery values still resistant to the advancement of formal rules of labor relations. But despite the wealth of literary sources in the production and dissemination of submission values and the subordinate place of the domestic work, I endorse that the set of social experiences of women who engaged in domestic work in the coming years pre and postemancipation put on suspicion idyllic images which associate domestic service to servilism, to harmony between employers and employees. Finally, despite the focus on class formation, I reconstituted wider experiences of popular daily conflicts in which the female domestic workers had participation, believing that not only in the working relationship a class is formed.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utforska socialtjänstens arbete med brottsoffer i Sverige enligt 5 kapitlet 11 § i socialtjänstlagen. I studien undersöktes hur socialsekreterare definierar brottsoffer samt hur de bedömer och prioriterar offrens behov. Det har också varit centralt att studera hur socialsekreterare tolkar och förstår regleringen av socialtjänstens ansvar för brottsoffer. Kvalitativa intervjuer med 18 socialarbetare är grunden för studien. Analysen av socialtjänstens arbete med brottsoffer baseras på ovan nämnda intervjuer. Intervjuerna analyseras med hjälp av rättssociologiska teorier. För att illustrera hur socialsekreterare definierar brottsoffer har teorier om brottsoffer använts i analysen. Studien visar att ett brottsoffer måste vara oskyldig, svag och lida av brottet för att personen skall definieras som brottsoffer av socialsekreterarna. Socialsekreterarna har dock olika prioriteringar. Vissa socialsekreterare baserar sin bedömning efter varje enskilt fall, medan andra socialsekreterare anser att det är specifika målgrupper som ska få hjälp av socialtjänsten. Undersökningen visar också att de brottsoffergrupper som främst får hjälp inom socialtjänsten kvinnor och barn som fallit offer för våld i nära relationer. Stöd till brottsoffer som ges genom socialtjänstens arbete är ofta i syfte för att anpassa de kvinnor och barn som utsätts för våld, såsom kvinnojourer, rådgivning och ekonomiskt stöd.
The purpose of this essay is to explore the social services work with crime victims in Sweden, according to Chapter 5, § 11 of the Social Services Act. The study examined how social workers define the victim and assessing and prioritizing victims' needs. It has also been central to study how social workers interpret and understand the regulation of social services responsible for crime victims. Qualitative interviews with 18 social workers is the basis for the study. The analysis of the social services work with victims based in the above-mentioned interviews. The interviews analyzed using the sociology of law theory. To illustrate how social workers define victims of crime have theories of crime victims been used in the analysis.
The study shows that a crime victim must be innocent, weak and suffering from the crime to be defined as crime victims by social secretaries. Social workers do, however, different priorities. Some are based on an assessment of each individual victims need help, while others believe that the specific target groups will be using social services. The study also indicates that the groups which mainly receive help in the social services are victims of violence women and children. Assistance to victims in the social services designed to adapt the groups exposed to violence against women and children, such as women’s shelters, counseling and financial help.

The first establishment of Domestic violence service in district court was in 2002 which judicature, department of social welfare and voluntary sector work together to help battered women to have no fear to fight for their rights in the domestic violence litigation. However, there are more and more male marital batterers seeking for help in recent years. What will happen when female social workers work with these male marital batterers, who have different gender experience? How does this change affect these organizations who considers women as their service target? Research design is primarily based on qualitative method, including in-depth interviews. The study finds most of the female workers will face difficulties when they work with male batterers, because most of their perspectives of service, training and growth experience are based on Feminism. Moreover, there are very less discussion about male marital batterers and workers’ gender experience in Taiwan. This study shows that the DV service in district courts are changing, they begin to try to find a proper way to help batters. Also, it is necessary for social service agency to learn the role of organization, care resources and social worker’s education from different gender perspective and experience. According to research findings, there are some implications for social service agency, local government and female workers. The agency should strengthen and provide various and precise resource which can truly reduce female workers’ burnout from helping batterers. Local government should realize DV service in district courts are changing and need to modify evaluation of indicators. In order to avoid burnout from working, female social workers should aware of their condition before or during working with men with resource from their agency.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study draws on empirical evidence to examine theory on the critical
question: "What is the impact of the English literacy curriculum on the lives of
female adult learners?" I used the critical postmodernist and feminist lenses to
examine the lived experiences of four Black African domestic workers and their
journey through adult literacy. I used life history and autobiographical writings as the main methodological tools to uncover the biographical experiences of the learners. The postmodernist lens provided a framework to understand the
changing identities and the complexities in the lived experiences of the learners. The critical and feminist theories provided the framework to understand the power relations and female oppression in a gendered society.
Researching adult literacy in transforming, unstable and uncertain environments is methodologically complex and challenging. In these circumstances it is often serendipity that provides tools for discovery. Thus letter writing and 'in loco' visits into informal settlements provided me with thick description of the adult learners' life worlds, which would have otherwise been closed. In drawing up a literacy curriculum for adult learners the ‘in loco' visits became a vital source of information. A major impact of the adult literacy programme in this study is that it provided learners with a language of criticism, hope and one with which to analyse their social and material conditions. The narrative writing and class discussions gave learners the opportunity to reflect, to be critically conscious of their poverty, to act and dream of their emancipation. The autobiographies were voices for the
voiceless learners, offering them a space to explore their feelings through story
telling. The story telling opened up possibilities, which was not mere reflection
but a complex process of making a difference in the world through diffraction.
Autobiographical writing as a narrative form provided the discursive space for
learners to become reflective, conscientized and intellectually emancipated.
However, they were not always able to assert their empowerment, because of the dominant mediating factors such as economic power relations and socio-cultural contexts. Feminist and critical pedagogical approaches to mediating the curriculum can be emancipatory, in environments of poverty, oppression and powerlessness. Although learners attained critical consciousness and intellectual liberation, only two of the four were able to break the shackles of poverty. The English language created a triple bind for the adult female learners. The dominance of the English language in the global economy, has created demands on adult learners to acquire competency skills in English in order to function optimally in society. The hegemony of the English language led to discrimination, and created class stratification as well as social inclusion and exclusion for learners. They either felt alienated or accepted. This study showed that the dominant indigenous language within their own informal community also causes social inclusion and exclusion. The first dominant pull is that of the English language, the second is the dominant indigenous language from their own communities and finally they are caught with the need for their own language causing a threefold pull or push on the learners' identities, which I call a triple bind. The quest to acquire the dominant language also created schisms in the learners' identities. This research has shown that the chasm between policy intentions and implementation has not been bridged. The promises of equity, redress and social justice as enunciated in Adult Basic Education and Training (from here on referred to as ABET) policy documents are far from being realized. This study revealed that the Department of Education in KwaZulu-Natal placed too much emphasis merely on summative tests and certification and not on the needs of the adult learner. If adult education continues in the same direction there will be no good incentive to work towards a programme that has a direct impact on the lives of marginalized females in particular. The study suggests that ABET curriculum must be situationally relevant to make an impact on learners. The adult literacy curriculum should offer programmes for critical consciousness as well as vocational training for income generation.Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Durban-Westville, 2004.

The researcher observing from the self and from the peers found out that there was a clouding atmosphere in the field of social work. For example, “social work is a charity career, so is it kind of snobbish if too haggling with the salary?” and “no one says anything, so I am too embarrassed to say anything.” In the long term, fighting for rights seems to be forgotten by the social workers. The main essence and the gender of social work are women. Does the gender influence the work? Or does the work influence the gender? The most basic part of social work is the education. Therefore, from the points of view of social work education, this research understands the general situation of the gender related courses in social work education. And then further discuss whether accepting the gender sensitivity education has influences on the social workers and its effect on actual operation. This research starts out from two parts: the first part is the social work education (including school education, on job training, etc); the second part is to discuss if the gender sensitivity has influences on the services from the work experiences of the social workers. In the first part, the educational training, we found out the related school education on gender sensitivity was quite lack. Those gender education related courses also had the situation of same subject, different content. While the gender related on job training is quite insufficient, the social workers, influenced by the amount of the work and not very interested, were not very attentive. Therefore, in general, the social workers did not have sufficient concept to perform self-examination also realized that it had affect the actual work. Therefore, this research proposes several advises aiming on social work education, on job training, and the rights of the social work in hoping to improve the current situation of the social work, elevate the gender sensitivity of the social workers, and promote the working rights. The advices are as follow: I. Social work education A. The gender related courses should include core courses of the social work and the required basic courses, which can establish a systematic courses sequence, not limited by the professional field of the teacher. B. Gender education is not only limited to specific field or way of providing services. When planning gender related courses, the basic subjects should be included as well. C. Besides building the systematic courses in theory, the internship of the social education should pour in the education concept of combining gender sensitivity. II. Policy A. Admit the social workers into official public affair system, not just providing indirect services. B. Issue or specify the law applicable for the social workers to avoid unspecific indemnification due to no applicable law. C. Strengthen the personal safety and work assurance of the social workers. The education should have complete supporting measures. D. Understand the professional position and actively strive for the rights.

The research was conducted based on an in-depth interview with a female domestic worker, Sally, currently working in Singapore. The method of narrative qualitative research was used in hopes of understanding the life experience of this Indonesian domestic worker. This research concludes that self-adjustment involves psychological, economical and emotional adaptations. Though faced with various difficulties, Sally has a strong resilience. She comprehends her low social-economic status in the society; however, she knows how to survive by coping with surrounding issues and perseveres when faced with the challenges of life. Though she has experienced many difficult encounters and frustrations scattered along her path of life, she still manages to pull through like sunshine after a rainy day. The research also shows though Sally personally has a determined and persevering character, the support she attains from her family and acquaintances e.g. parents, siblings, employers, agents, and friends, all play roles in enhancing her resilience in empowering her in facing difficulties in her life. Through positive interactive communication with the people surrounding and in close contact with Sally, she is able to, under the influence and support of her family, employers and peers, revert back quickly from any negative effects her problems might have caused. Her spiritual beliefs i.e. religion and fortune telling, also have beneficial effects on her resilience.

Domestic workers in South Africa have historically endured a great deal of
inequalities, as a direct result of their role as woman within the traditional patriarchal
family structure and as a result of their socialisation process. This dissertation sets out
to understand the socialisation process that young girls undergo within a traditional
African family that leads them to domestic employment. The aim is to conduct a
sociological analysis of domestic workers. This study seeks to understand the impact
of the socialisation process on the African female in society.Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2006.
