SOAS Explains: Paris Paloma’s Labour

Paris Paloma’s song Labour is still going viral, now firmly a feminist anthem - evolving from individual frustration to collective protest.

Dr Sophie Chamas, Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies, explores how the song tapped into a long-standing feminist critique of the invisible, gendered labour that keeps societies running and why it’s crucial to recognise who performs this work, and who benefits from it.
