4 | Last week, the Twitter account @aminhaempregada (my maid) starting retweeting shocking, aggressive and racist tweets that Brazilian employers of domestic workers publish. | Tamin'ny herinandro lasa teo, nanomboka namerina nandefa hafatra fohy mahatohina, masiaka ary feno fanavakavahana alefan'ireo mpampiasa an-trano Breziliana indray ny kaonty Twitter @aminhaempregada (ny mpiasa an-tranoko). |
5 | The Portuguese language account offers a glimpse into the social prejudice, racism and lack of empathy that exists in Brazilian society, especially with regards to attitudes towards domestic workers. | Manome topimaso amin'ny fahavoazana ara-tsosialy, ny fanavakavahana ary ny tsy fahaizana manakatra ny fihetseham-pon'ny hafa izay miseho ao amin'ny fiarahamonina Breziliana ilay kaonty amin'ny fiteny Portigey, indrindra ny toetran'ny olona amin'ireo mpiasa an-trano. |
6 | The account has close to 10k followers so far. | Misy mpanaraka efa miisa eo ho eo amin'ny 10k eo ilay kaonty hatreto. |
7 | According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), 92 percent of the country's 7.2 million domestic workers are women, and of these women, 60 percent are black. | Araka ny Ivontoerana Breziliana misahana ny jeografia sy ny antontanisa (IBGE), vehivavy avokoa ny 92 isan-jato amin'ireo mpikarama an-trano miisa 7.2 tapitrisa, ary amin'ireo vehivavy ireo, mainty hoditra ny 60 isan-jatony. |
8 | The Minha Empregada account has been created by a 33-year-old publicist from Sao Paulo who doesn't want to be identified. | Naorinà ooona iray manampahaizana amin'ny dokambarotra, 33 taona, avy ao Sao Paulo, tsy tia ho fantatra anarana, ny kaonty Minha Empregada. |
9 | Many retweets from employers mention race when complaining about their domestic worker: | Maro amin'ireo famerenana hafatra fohy avy amin'ireo mpampiasa no mampiseho ny fanavakavaham-bolon-koditra rehefa mitaraina momba ireo mpiasa an-tranony izy ireo: |
10 | Housemaids are the best type of black people. | Ny mpiasa an-trano no karazana olona mainty tsara indrindra. |
11 | my maid has been working here for two years, and she is black, my dog still barks everytime he sees her…and so do I. | roa taona izay no niasa tato ny mpiasa an-tranoko, ary mainty izy, mivovo foana ny alikako rehefa mahita azy… izaho koa torak'izay. |
12 | Or they take a condescending view about the workers' assumed origins in Brazil's northeast, one of the poorest regions: | Na izy ireo manana fomba fijery manambany an'ireo mpiasa nalaina tany amin'ny faritra avaratra atsinanan'i Brezila, faritra anisany mahantra indrindra: |
13 | xenophobia is the non-acceptance of a foreigner…I do accept my maid in Sao Paulo, and she is a northeastern…Hahahah | Ny tsy fandraisana tsara ny olona avy any amin'ny firenena hafa no atao hoe fanavakavahana…Izaho izao manaiky ny mpiasa an-tranoko ao Sao Paolo, ary avy any amin'ny faritra avaratra atsinanana izy…Hahahah |
14 | Some tweets use a derogatory tone to complain about the maids or shame them: | Ny sasany amin'ireo hafatra fohy, mampiasa fomba fiteny manambàny mitaraina momba ireo mpiasa an-tranony, na manao izay mahamenatra azy ireo: |
15 | I'm here with the air conditioner on, behind closed doors, and here comes MY MORON MAID, instead of knocking on the door, she just opens it | Ato amin'ny efitra misy fitaovana fanivanan-drivotra mandeha amin'ny herinaratra aho izao, nikatona ireo varavarana, tonga avy any ilay MPIASA AN-TRANOKO ADALA iny, raha tokony handondona ny varavarana izy, tonga dia novohainy tsotra izao ilay izy. |
16 | Others even threaten violence: | Ny sasany ary mandrahona ny hampiasa hesisetra mihitsy: |
17 | It's my maid's luck that I'm coming home late…wait till I bump into that dick(head) and send her flying with a kick on her neck | Tsara vintana aloha ny mpiasa an-tranoko hoe tonga tara tao an-trano aho…fa miandry ny hahatratrarako ny lohan'iny aho ary hasidiko amin'ny daka be eo amin'ny hatony. |
18 | A portrait of prejudice | Ny sasantsasany amin'ireo fitsaràna ny hafa |
19 | As the author of the profile shows in some of his tweets, many people caught on his timeline shaming domestic workers try to explain themselves and deny any racism on their part. Other Twitter profiles - such as @NãoSouHomofóbico (I'm not homophobic) and @NãoSouRacista (I'm not racist) - attest to this difficulty that Brazilians have owning up to their racism, sexism and other prejudices. | Tahaka ny anehoan'ny mpamorona ilay kaonty ao anatin'ny sasany amin'ireo hafatra fohiny, maro amin'ireo olona no naka ireny famoahany ireny, nanao izay mahamenatra ireo mpiasa an-tranony, ary miezaka ny manamarin-tena sy mandà ho tsy mpanavakavaka izy ireo. Ny Twitter sasany - toy ny @NãoSouHomofóbico (Tsy manaratsy ireo lahy samy lahy na vavy samy vavy miaraka aho) ary koa ny @NãoSouRacista (Tsy mpanavakavaka aho) - manamarina ny fahasahiranan'ny Breziliana hiala amin'ny fanavakavahany, ny firehana ara-pitiavana ary fomba fitsaràna olona hafa koa. |
20 | An article published by the leftist magazine Carta Capital and republished by the Institute of Black Women Geledés, highlights the social gap issue behind the matter: | Lahatsoratra iray navoakan'ny gazetiboky mirona amin'ny elatra havia Carta Capital ary naverin'ny Ivon-toeran'ny Vehivavy Mainty Hoditra Geledés navoaka no manasongadina mazava tsara ny elanelana ara-tsosialy ao ambadik'io olana io: |
21 | The hiring of house workers on a large scale is a consequence of a country's social delay. | Vokatry ny fahataràn'ny firenena iray amin'ny lafiny ara-tsosialy ny fanakaramàna mpiasa an-trano maro be. |
22 | The fact that there are people earning enough [money] so that another person does the job they themselves could do shows a nation's gap of social inequality. | Mampiseho tsy fitoviana lehibe eo amin'ny lafiny sosialy ny fisian'ny olona afaka manana ny ampy tsara [vola], ka ny olona hafa no manao ny raharaha afaka ataony. |
23 | The proportions of this kind of work's existence is that one one side, there is a surplus of workers with no qualifications for any other kind of work, and on the other side, a class that makes enough to buy someone else's labor. | Manamarika ny tsy fitoviana ny haben'ny fisian'io karazan'asa io, fa eo ankilany, maro loatra ireo mpiasa tsy manana mari-pahaizana manokana mba hanao karazan'asa iray hafa, ary eo andaniny, ireo kilasin'olona manana ny ampy ka mividy ny hatsembohan'ny sasany hanao ny asa eo amin'ny toerany. |
24 | Brazil abolished slavery in 1888, becoming the last country in the Western world to do so. | Noravàn'i Brezila tamin'ny taona 1888 ny fanandevozana, raha izy no lasa firenena farany tany amin'ny faritra Andrefana [en] nanao izany. |
25 | However, without education or vocational training, many newly freed black women began to earn their living as domestic workers, a legacy that continues to this day. | Na dia izany aza, maro amin'ireo vehivavy vao nahazo fahafahana no manao fitadiavam-bola amin'ny fiasàna an-trano satria tsy mahazo fampianarana na fanofanana arak'asa, lova izay mbola mitohy hatramin'izao ankehitriny izao. |
26 | Over the years, the condition of domestic workers in Brazil has improved. | Nihatsàra ny toeran'ireo mpikarama an-trano ao Brezila rehefa nandeha ny taona. |
27 | Today, fewer and fewer maids are living in their employers' homes (where they have to be available for work round the clock), and are therefore relatively more independent and can also charge a higher payment for their services. | Ankehitriny, vitsy dia vitsy amin'ireo mpiasa an-trano no mipetraka ao amin'ny tranon'ny mpampiasa azy (izay toerana tokony hahavonona azy amin'ny fotoana rehetra, andro sy alina), ary noho izany lasa mahaleotena kokoa sy afaka mametra karama ambonimbony kokoa amin'ny asa ataony izy. |
28 | Nevertheless, the attitude of incivility and under-appreciation of domestic workers continue. | Na dia izany aza, mbola mitohy hatrany ny toetra tsy fahalalam-pomba sy fanambaniana ireo mpikarama an-trano. |
29 | Last year, after a painful debate, Brazil for the first time approved a constitutional amendment to protect domestic workers rights. | Tamin'ny taona lasa teo, tao aorian'ny adihevitra nampalahelo, voalohany izao vao nanaiky ny hanova ny lalàm-panorenany i Brezila, mba hiarovana ny zon'ireo mpikarama an-trano. |
30 | However, though the law has been passed at the Senate, it is waiting to be voted by the Chamber of Deputies only after which it can be brought into force. | Na dia efa nolanian'ny Antenimieran-doholona aza ny lalàna, mbola miandry hofidian'ny ao amin'ny Antenimieran'ny Solombavam-bahoaka izany, ary aorian'izay vao afaka ampiharina. |
