The Cuban reggaeton artist El Yonki sparked a wave of positive reactions after posting a video in which he defends the value of women and calls for greater respect towards them, especially in the context of household chores and the role many play as family pillars.
“And now it turns out that because you are the one who works and goes out to earn a living, the one who goes out to fight, the woman you have at home is worth less than you,” expressed the artist at the beginning of the clip shared on his Instagram account.
The singer invited reflection on the unpaid work performed by millions of women, proposing a role reversal: “Let's change roles; now let the woman go to work while the man stays at home to do the chores, washing, scrubbing, cleaning, cooking, sweeping, taking out the trash, washing again, scrubbing, cooking, making the bed, changing the bed linens, organizing the closet...”.
With a firm yet empathetic tone, El Yonki stated that “if men had to do that for a month, or even a week, I don't think we would be able to handle it. That's why men need to respect our women and our life partners a little more, because if the work outside is tough, the work at home is even tougher, especially when you're within four walls.”
“More respect for women, without them we are nothing”, she stated in the post description.
The video was met with praise from hundreds of followers, who thanked the reggaeton artist for bringing to light a reality that is often overlooked and for publicly acknowledging the efforts of women within the home.
