Women's empowerment has taken on an important role in society, to the point that it is one of the Sustainable Development Goals, set just a few weeks ago. Various companies, such as Mattel, have made efforts in recent years to promote this goal and leave behind the image of the perfect doll. Mattel has been the manufacturer of Barbie for more than 50 years, one of the main dolls on the market that aims to show the image of real women with their multiple characters and jobs. It is one of the few brands that has focused on making toys to empower women, although it has also received criticism. Of course, Mattel isn't the only one with a line of high-impact dolls. MGA Entertainment is the company that markets , the dolls that are characterized by having extravagant clothing, excessive eye and lip makeup , and poorly proportioned heads. has also been a successful product because it has cartoons and movies, but it cannot be said that it reflects real women. That is why Canadian artist Wendy Tsao decided to transform some dolls and give them the image of exemplary women. Tsao was inspired by Sonia Singh, another artist who has been responsible for redesigning the faces of dolls, but in a more natural way.
Women who inspired Tsao include: Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, activist Malala Yousafzai, astronaut Roberta Bondar, primatologist Jane Goodall, British writer America Mobile Number List Joanne Rowling, and Somali activist and model . The dolls operated on by the artist are for sale on the portal and 30% of the sale will be donated to foundations or institutions to which these women belong. On the one hand, they help domestic workers work in an environment of trust, through employer certification schemes, with regulated hours and competitive rates. On the other hand, they allow domestic employers to separate themselves from responsibilities and assign them to private companies. “Digital services are a way to connect demand with labor supply, but what we are looking for is that any way of organizing this employment status is done in a regulatory framework that respects job guarantees,” said . In the vision of Ignacio Román, from , these applications function as subcontracting companies such as Adecco or Manpower, which determine working conditions and can lead to wage insecurity.
The anger would be that in the end the winner with the formalization of domestic work is the subcontractor and not the worker,” he said. Technology can be a factor of change, but the real challenge is to reform the state of things. The Latin American experience Lourdes Pacheco and Adriana Islas are willing to improve the economic and social conditions of their domestic workers, but questions about its implementation make them hesitate. Some Latin American countries have been ahead of Mexico in responses. In the Argentine case, employers are required to register domestic staff with the tax authority, which will offer social benefits to domestic workers and will reward citizen participation with the deduction of income tax. A similar scheme occurs in Brazil, where employers can deduct the salary given to domestic employees, according to a 2015 reform and with which Dilma Rousseff decreed another end to slavery: “This law breaks with one of the saddest chapters of our history, which is slave labor within our own homes.” To advance the solution, the sensitivity of legislators is required to develop reforms and regulations that improve the conditions of domestic workers, based on Convention 189 approved by Mexico in the International Labor Organization.
