friend law your publication I agree with all the things that you mention there and I wanted to comment on several things I voi to enumerate.
1 ... this exploitation is suffered by most immigrants in other countries, for example I left Venezuela last year and worked 8 months in Ecuador, my first job was in a restaurant, I was raised at 5 in the morning to working to peel vegetables, I spent the whole day as an innkeeper and washing dishes, they closed at 8 o'clock at night and I had to clean the whole place, at 9 o'clock when I finished they gave me 5 pieces of rice to wash them at 11 o'clock the night and then like that every day, they offered to pay me 90 dolars a week, and when I arrived on Saturday the day they paid me, they told me to take 30 dollars that the work was bad and if I did not like that I left there, they treated me all Venezuelans who emigrated to Ecuador.
2 .. they made a comment there that in Venezuela the monthly salary is 6 dollars is true, but they also tell you that they work 8 hours and that they humiliate you, in that I am not in agreement venezuela is the most flexible country in the world in how much work, rather here the employees do what they please, is a country with much libertinism in everything, it hurts the government that we have that has spoiled everything, because if not had never left this country.

  1. When I returned to Venezuela I thought about selling my house and returning to Ecuador again not because I liked it but wanted to sell my house and then go back and start my own business a restaurant, hire Ecuadorian employees and treat them like they never treated me, a good treatment and salary without exploitation during working hours, but I think God gave me an opportunity that I appreciate all my life after I met steemit, I do humanitarian work, I give food and clothes to needy people I record my publications, and then I receive the help of people like you who read my publications, I think I no longer go from my country, I feel happy to help people in need.
  2. There are many parts in the world where children have to work from an early age, because of the need of their country, it hurts that they are exploited, but it is those children who with great sacrifice help bring food to their homes that makes them mature and they will be the men who force a true future, because sometimes the human experiences of life teach us to mature and be better every day.

Thank you for sharing. This is horrible to hear about and I am astonished to hear how you changed your life around. Well done!
As long as international institutes remain focussed on one problem and ignore the others, this won't change. But I hope with my post to raise awareness and if more people start buying fair product we can force a change, step by step.
