WWP Fights to Win Justice for Analisa

Women Workers' Project Members hope to close with victory within 6 months. Our common goals to move forward with her case: (1) Win Justice for Analisa; (2) Shame the employers; (3) Support Analisa and other domestic workers who are suffering to speak out!; (4) Use the media to get the truth out. Our demands are: (1) Justice for Analisa; (2) Damages for suffering; (3) Public apology for the abuse; (4) Legalization for all ; (5) Pass the Bill of Rights in NY State. WWP and the legal teams from New York University’s Immigrant Rights Clinic (NYUIRC) and the Urban Justice Center have been meeting for months to make sure the case against Analisa’s employers is strong. A formal complaint was filed at the Federal court on November 17, and WWP held a press conference at one of the upper Eastside parks. Many workers witnessed Analisa speaking publicly about the abuse and suffering she experienced while working for Dr. Jacobs and Dr. Scheiner. Some workers who were listening to her story couldn’t believe that she was mistreated while others admitted that they also experienced some type of abuse.
