I was struck by this statue of the garment worker - a picture of commitment, sincerity and concentration as I hurried across towards Times Square. I took a couple of shots and later googled it to see what it was. Public statues like this are a great way of commemorating unsung heroes of the past.
Garment Worker by Judith Weller (b.1937, Tel Aviv, Israel) is a realistic rendering of a garment worker, wearing a yarmulke and hunched over a hand-operated sewing machine. The figure is modeled after the artist’s father, who was a machine operator in New York’s garment industry. “When I was a little girl, I recall seeing him at work,” Well explained. “I utilized what I know of him as well as my memory in creating the sculpture.” The sculpture was created to commemorate the Jewish garment workers, the backbone of Jewish life in New York at the turn of the century Source: www.publicartfund.org/exhibitions/view/garment-worker/
Expecting and nursing mothers require social protection but workers in the informal economy are often not covered. Maternity protection has been a primary concern of the ILO since its creation in 1919. Workplace support for mothers who are breastfeeding has been a basic provision of maternity protection.
The Philippines expanded maternity leave benefits in 2019 to align with international labour standards. The ILO also promoted exclusive breastfeeding in the workplace to advance women’s rights to maternity protection and to improve nutrition security for Filipino children.

The "Quinta do Mocho" neighborhood has been considered for many years as a dangerous area. Situated a few kilometers from Lisbon (Portugal), in the LOURES municipality, the hood is very poor and composed of a huge majority of African immigrants, working on Loures industries around the hood.
Many of those workers have been relocated there when other near-by ghettos has been destroyed and rehabilitated.
