DEBATE: CARE WORKERS – WHAT ARE THEY WORTH?

135 min

How is it that we still value the work that women traditionally do as less valuable? What are the consequences of years of poor pay and working conditions? And why is it so important to give nurses, educators and SOSUs a new status in society? That’s what we’re trying to answer when Demokrati Garage opens its doors for a screening of the award-winning documentary ‘Those Who Care’, followed by a debate. The discussion will be joined by care worker and union representative at Musvågevej residential and daycare centre, Rebekka Thornbech Rasmussen, regional councilor in Radikale Venstre Karen Friis Bach, together with journalist and researcher Lene Rimested, who is investigating the lack of trust in the healthcare sector. All will be moderated by Louise Steenholt, daily manager of the Foreningen Demokrati Garage.
