This paper reflects on the experience and strengths of girls and adolescents who work as domestic servants in Peru, living in social exclusion and participate in the Movement of Children and Adolescents Organized Workers of Peru (MNNATSOP). This will consider the contributions of prominence Child approach, Sociology of Children and the Gender Perspective as to the sexual division of labour in childhood. We analyse the origin and context of labour migration situations experienced by girls, the invisibility of domestic work, and the role of money, discrimination and violation of their rights, how they express gender roles, expectations and ways involved in social organizations.
