In this episode, we tackle the often overlooked yet crucial topic of the complexities and power dynamics involved in hiring domestic workers. Acknowledging the significant role they play in households, providing emotional labor for family well-being, we explore the inherent power imbalance between employers and domestic workers. Delving into the impact on both parties, we emphasize the need to recognize and dismantle this imbalance at both private and societal levels. Titled "Our Other Wives," we examine the mothering and caregiving roles often assumed by domestic workers in households, inviting listeners to share experiences from different cultural contexts. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on navigating the complexities of hiring domestic workers and exploring opportunities and solutions for domestic workers in Kenya.
