  • Опубликовано: 31 окт 2024
  • Three years ago, BBC Africa Eye’s Nancy Kacungira reported on the plight of three young women, Mercy, Scovia and Esther who left their homes to find jobs as domestic workers. Commonly referred to as ‘housegirls’, the film chronicled their hard lives and illustrated how being employed as a domestic worker can sometimes lead to mistreatment and even abuse.
    Now Nancy is back and catching up with the three young women to find out how their lives have changed and whether their hopes and dreams became reality. From babies to boutiques to back to school, Nancy discovers how each former domestic worker has overcome difficulties and embraced their new lives.

      @@winngriff you’re ignorant. Education in these communities, including sex education is lacking and a reason for these pregnancies. It’s also cultural and endemic and, as said in the documentary, a lot of these women are raped and vulnerable. You’re coming at this from a privileged gaze. You also don’t understand how much community and family and seeing childbirth as a blessing and that the women who don’t produce children are often ridiculed as factors. You’re also policing bodies in terms of class and economics. As if only the wealthy should be allowed to have multiple children instead of focusing on the real issue, which is why there’s this socioeconomic disparity that makes any of this exist! The poor not having multiple children will not end poverty or their plight. The only thing that will end it is access to education and employment. Stop saying ignorant shit like they can assist by helping themselves. One bravely reported domestic abuse and became a chef, the other went back to school and the other started a business selling clothing all against the odds . What the have you done apart from be ignorant on RUclips?

    There is dignity in every labour. Honestly speaking, we can't all be lawyers, doctors, teachers, journalists, etc. We still need people to work as fashion designers, hairstylists, laundry, and all. But, there should be dignity in every labour. I envision a future where domestic workers do their work with pride, dignity, and respect. A future where they are treated with the respect they deserve as human beings. A future where their services are needed and demanded for from agencies. A future where they don't go around begging and scavenging for jobs so much that they are looked down upon. I envision this and I'm going to birth it to life, because the future is mine, it is ours.

      Children are their old age insurance in a country where the government does not take care of old people. Even pensions are hardly paid and when paid, are not enough for basic necessities. You give out these children for other to raise because when they grow up they will be the ones to look after you. They have no emotional attachment to the family who raises them but their parents remain their parents even when these parents where not very much in their lives. It's a sad situation that those in the western world may not understand because they live under very different circumstances.

    Very great job BBC Africa! Hearing that the last documentary moved things to the better reflected as more young women stepping out from bad treatment in their work is something great to hear. From this one it is worthwhile saying that the very important and root of big part of the problem was brought to the table. The stigma around some girls not returning back to school because of that. Hopefully discussions start so the stigma can become less and (more) girls take the courage to go back and finish their education. Cheers!

    I'm sorry but having children when you're poor and can't even provide for yourself is beyond stupid. If I were poor sex would not enter my mind let alone becoming a parent.

      Most Dumbest Comment.
      You can think like this because you are educated and have sex education. (I guess).
      Having kids when you can’t provide for them is “stupid”. But how do you agree to deprive them from nature calls? They are humans too even if they are poor and uneducated. They can’t even afford contraceptives!
      You need to think next time before commenting.
      “If you were poor, you wouldn’t have sex” is lame and a lie.

      When you are empowered & enlightened, then your sentiments makes sense. Unfortunately for some of these girls, it's almost close to impossible. They easily fall victims to their preys. In some cases, they become pregnant in quest for money to support themselves and family

      @@ssmollock none of the former house girls in this report were raped. Uganda has a population of 47.2 million. 17,000 rapes are reported annually and less than 1% end in child birth. Your point is mut, 99.98% of births amongst all Ugandans is voluntary. Having children while serving as a sex worker is voluntary.

    Instead of highlighting these girls, we should highlight the men who are abusing them. Almost every girl is where she is because she was victimized by a man. This is horrible.

      @@abongderic8565 Let’s not be naive pls. Just bcoz some girls may not speak out about their experiences doesn’t mean that they’re aren’t victims of sexual assault/rape. Some victims become too traumatised to speak out about what they’ve gone through bcoz of shame or the stigma of sexual assault or even other reasons known to them.

    Two of them getting pregnant and having babies is disappointing. And the fathers of those babies are not there so they're single mothers. What's worse is that they didn't want an abortion. It's such a disappointment when women choose to make their already difficult lives even harder by taking on the burden of motherhood.
