Concepción Alejo, a domestic worker in Mexico City, represents the unseen 2.5 million domestic workers, mostly women, in Mexico. Despite their essential role, they face low pay, abuse, and long hours. With the upcoming election possibly making history with the first female president, domestic workers like Alejo hope for improved conditions under candidates Claudia Sheinbaum or Xóchitl Gálvez. While progress has been made with labor rights legislation, enforcement issues persist. Alejo and others await changes a woman leader may bring to address gender and class disparities in their profession and society at large.
