Abstract
France is a country with rights. So give me my rights. A little bit of rights, because in a way I’m doing something for France. (…) Who will do it? It’s not François Hollande [former French President elected in 2012] who will do it, it’s not his wife, it’s the miserable care assistants. What I do, it’s not little, it’s really something. (Fouzia, 43, Algeria, Paris)
Fouzia had been living in France for 12 years when I met her. She came to France from Algeria and had been working for a couple of years as a care assistant in domiciliary care at the time of the interview.
