Abuse

  Domestic workers must gather together and fight for their right, before it too late. Migrant domestic workers are abuse and exploited by the owners. For example, my mother’s friend is a domestic workers and she works more than eight hours a day. She earned minimum wage and sometime she gets mistreated. Domestic workers that work in private homes are often at risk of sexual abuse just like my mom’s friend. Teen how are domestic workers are making less than adults. Domestic workers are protesting all over the world to get rights. They just want to be treated the same as any other workers. This injustice must stop!! Many people come to the U.S to have a better life, to live the American dream. This is a nightmare and the only way this would end is if we yell it out to the world, government and everyone. Just like advertising how domestic workers are being mistreated. This is not the only problem that needs to be solved.

  Child abuse is the one thing I wish no kid go through, but that not reality. Child abuse is more tan bruises or broken bones. While physical abuse is shocking due to the scars it leaves. Then, emotional abuse can be just as damaging because emotional scarring has long lasting effects throughout life. Their things and people that you could never forget. As hard as you tried to get out your mind that image, movement would always be hunting you. I saw a girl about 13 years old on the TV that went through this. She was being interview, as she started talked about what happen she was crying and at the end she said she want to kill herself. Many adult survivors of child abuse have a strong motivation to protect their children against what they went through and become excellent parents (Child abuse). Child abuse doesn’t only happen in poor families or bad neighborhoods. I think it crosses all racial, economic, and cultural lines. I also think sometimes, families who seen to have it all from the outside are hiding a different story behind closed doors. Child abuse should stop and end now!! While abuse by strangers does happen, most abusers are family members or others close to the family (Child abuse). So if you are a parent, brother or sister and this is happening to the ones you love fight for them.
