Indigenous women and multiple forms of discrimination in domestic work

Abstract

Young native women are mostly employed as domestic workers. Native women are discriminated against by legislation, while in general the payment is 60% of the legal minimum wage for any domestic worker, in the case of native women they receive payments in a differentiated form below 60% or with spices.
The discrimination they suffer has different edges, because they are women as a condition inferior to a man, because they are native or belonging to original offspring, because of their physical features, and speaking only the native language or Paraguayan Guarani but not Spanish; in addition the typical or casual clothing they use is also a reason for discrimination since workplaces force them to change and use a certain clothing stripping them of their original culture.
