Abstract/Description
Since 2018, worker's rights have become a central forefront in the battle to developing a more equitable nation in Mexico, specifically regarding domestic employees. In my honors thesis I compare the rights of domestic workers in both the United States and Mexico using elements set forth in the SA8000 Standard formed by the Social Accountability International Organization in order to analyze which country grants more access to these liberties. I also discuss advocacy groups still fighting for more freedom as well as provide recommendations for future progress.
