The voice of Creuza Oliveira tells the story of more than nine million Brazilian domestic workers, mostly women, mostly black, for
whom slavery is not relegated to the dust piles of history.
Born in a family of poor rural workers with no schooling, Oliveira began life as a domestic worker in Bahia when she was 10 years old. Unable
to balance work and school, she had to pick work and dropped out of school numerous times. "Almost half a million domestic workers in Brazil
are children and teenagers berween 5 and 17 years of age - working without compensation, as slaves," she said.
Oliveira is now President of the National Federation of Domestic Workers in Brazil and active in the Unified Black Movement and the Women's
Movement.
