Labor Law — by Omran Naser Risheq

Organization

The Palestinian Working Woman Society for Development (PWWSD)

Description

This PSA starts with a fact – “Palestinian Labor Law guarantees decent working conditions for women.” A woman washes dishes in the filthy kitchen of an office, while voices from off screen yell at her, “Bring a cup of tea to the boss’ office. Why is it late?” “Bring me a cup of coffee.” A pot of coffee simmers on the stove. The woman sighs heavily. As the working conditions are shown to be unfair, the coffee boils over. “We have the reached the boiling point,” the final message says, “Let’s work together to enforce our rights.” The PSA is a message to policymakers and to the public, to implement existing labor laws that protect the rights of women in the workplace.
