In The World’s Oldest Profession, we learn more about what domestic and care work is, and its roots in exploitation and slavery.  We meet organizers in South Africa and Hong Kong and we talk to the former US Ambassador to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons to understand more about the origins of domestic servitude and when and how we stopped seeing care workers as disposable.

Guests:  Myrtle Witbooi, International Domestic Workers' Federation; Elizabeth Tang, International Domestic Workers' Federation; Tembi, South African domestic worker;  Amb. Luis CdeBaca, former Ambassador-at-Large
