ABSTRACT In the absence of proper legislative regulation, women domestic workers in India are vulnerable not just to low wages but are subject to a host of unfair social practices and disrespectful behavior. This is because domestic work is part of deeper and ingrained casteist and patriarchal mores and practices. As such, these workers have to deal with many indignities as part of their employment. This paper attempts to highlight the daily humiliation and physical and mental costs experienced by women domestic workers. By documenting their lived realities at work and their oral narratives, we examine everyday tales of mistreatment, humiliation, mounting social anxiety, and escalating health issues.

“即使我死了，我也没有假期”：印度浦那女性家庭佣工的日常侮辱和脆弱性

摘要在缺乏适当的立法监管的情况下，印度的女性家庭佣工不仅容易受到低工资的影响，而且还受到一系列不公平的社会习俗和不尊重行为的影响。这是因为家务劳动是更深层次和根深蒂固的种姓主义和父权制习俗的一部分。因此，这些工人必须处理许多侮辱作为其就业的一部分。本文试图强调女性家庭佣工每天遭受的屈辱和身心成本。通过记录他们在工作中的生活现实和他们的口头叙述，我们研究了关于虐待、羞辱、日益严重的社交焦虑和不断升级的健康问题的日常故事。
