Episode #4: The Recognition of Domestic Workers With and Without COVID-19 in Brazil with Louisa Acciari - a podcast by A-id Think Tank

In episode #4 of the A-id podcast, we were joined by Louisa Acciari to discuss the recognition of domestic workers with and without COVID-19.

Working as a post-doctoral researcher at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and as a Programme Officer at the International Domestic Workers’ Federation, Louisa is a great profile to provide us with a unique angle on the situation in Brazil. 

To start things off Louisa tells us about the rise of COVID in Brazil and the impact this has had on domestic workers before and during the crisis. We discuss the legal and political debates around the recognition of domestic work as essential during the lockdown. Before moving on to look at how this is shaping the responses from institutions and activists.
