Domestic labor has always been and still is a major part of many American’s lives. A big movement is now starting to push for laws to be passed to protect domestic workers in all the states in America. New York is the first state to pass any type of laws that will offer protection while these people work. The Domestic Workers Bill of Rights reforms New York State law to guarantee basic work standards and protections for the nannies, caregivers, and housekeepers who keep New York families functioning and make all other work possible. The Bill of Rights being passed allows domestic workers some hope now that they are being seen and heard, and that people will not let them continue suffering.

The pieces that I have created are meant to show different parts of the world that revolves around domestic labor. The Forgotten refers to the parts of this world that are overlooked when people look at the plight of the domestic worker. The problems with domestic labor do not just concern domestic workers, but their children and outside families. The pieces that I have created include three poems that show three different parts of the world of the domestic worker. A video that was adapted from a still image that I had created previously for a class project that dealt with domestic labor, and a still image that was collaged together.
