[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the changes coming in are also being pushed by far left and far right groups that don’t want to see women in the workplace. In the past 5 years I’m seeing less and less women in the pipeline at work. Many have switched to working remotely because they can’t find consistent childcare. This kills their career.

I’m a single mother. My ex husband is unreliable. I have to go to work and I don’t get to take breaks. Two of my children are disabled, they have autism. My third child has dyslexia and is too tired for aftercare. I’m paid fairly well but not lots because I’m paying school fees, childcare, medical expenses and housing.

I’d like to know what I’m supposed to do because the family courts don’t enforce child related expenses being equally shared, to keep my well paid job I have to show up even when I have a sick child and I can’t afford an au pair, no one wants the nanny role as not enough hours plus I need household admin done, which they don’t want to do.

This is about women’s rights because this is going to disproportionately affect women.[/b] [/quote]

So just women like you, not women why may be exploited from other countries? Look I'm frustrated with the AP program as much as anyone and I empathize with your situation. But it's not helpful to be ok with exploiting another group of women just bc the capitalist society is so harmful. [/quote]
