Care work and migration are intertwined, as increasing numbers of migrants work in private households or in care—and are sometimes specifically recruited for this purpose. A look at migration policies, particularly in the Global North, shows that this is politically motivated—at the expense of those who perform care work for precarious wages and with insecure residency status.
In this introductory workshop, we will explore how people around the world are fighting for recognition of the care work they perform and for their rights. We will also explore global care chains in an interactive way and explore the intersectional positions of migrant workers who experience various and sometimes intertwined forms of discrimination.
The event is a collaboration between W3_Werkstatt für internationale Kultur und Politik eV within the framework of the project VerCAREte Verhältnisse – Wege in eine klima- und schlechtergerechte Zukunft and the Museum der Arbeit – Stiftung Historische Museen Hamburg within the framework of the exhibition „ CARE! Wenn aus Liebe Arbeit wird ”.
