Título: Creuza, endomestic work in Brazil
The voice of Creuza Oliveira tells the story of more than nine million Brazilian domestic workers, mostly
women, mostly black, for whom slavery is not relegated to the dust piles of history. It is also the story of the revolutionary impact unions and social movements can have on entrenched and systemic injustices.
Born in a family of poor rural workers with no schooling, Oliveira began life as a domestic worker in Bahia when she was a mere 10 years old. Unable to balance work
and school, she had to pick work and dropped out of school numerous times. [...]
"I only started to receive a salary as a domestic worker when I was 21," she told a gathering on the sidelines of the Durban Review Conference at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva. "Until that age, my payment was in used clothes and food. I did not have a right to vacations or any basic workers rights."
At age 14, her employers took her to São Paulo to work, without any authorization from her relatives in Bahia.
Such was Oliveira's life until she heard on the radio about meetings of domestic workers fighting for their rights. She attended one meeting and thus began her evolution from a suffering young woman with low confidence into a leader in the fight for the rights of blacks, for women and for domestic workers.
a. What's the person's name?
b. Where did she work first time?
c. Was her family rich or poor?
d. How old was she when she started to work?
c. Did she finish the studies in the school?
f. Did she receive any money for her work?
g. What happened when she was 14?
h. One day she heard something important on the radio. What was it?
i. How did it change her life?
