Over 700 housekeepers showed up to protest on the beaches of Balneario de Asia in Peru. They argue that they are not allowed to bathe in the ocean in that area and, in fact, are only allowed to step foot on the sand after 7 PM unless accompanied by their employer.

Actress Gisela Valcarcel showed up dressed in a traditional housekeeper’s uniform, to support her housekeeper, Teresa. They all defiantly walked toward the beach and, like a Roman army, marched shoulder to shoulder until they reached the water and triumphantly played around for a while. Gisela said:

“She is my confidante, my partner. I don’t understand how it is possible to make someone who knows so much, feel like they are from another class. I come from humble beginnings and from a time when the beach was for everybody. I am against the notion that housekeepers shouldn’t be allowed on the beach.”

To that, I say march on hermanas! March on!
