إذا حدث أن واجهت إنسانًا لا تعرفه ثم نظرت، وأطلت النظر في عينيه... ترى ماذا ستجد هناك؟ قصته؟ أحلامه؟ مخاوفه؟...إنسانيته المجردة؟ يرى علماء النفس أن تلك الدقائق المتصلة من النظر تحقق اتصالًا إنسانيًا قويًا بين طرفين هذا ما قمنا به... واجهنا أشخاصًا من العمالة المنزلية بآخرين ممن يستخدمون العمالة المنزلية لا يعرف أحدهما الآخر وتواصل النظر المباشر بينهما لأربع دقائق I If you sat across a complete stranger and look into their eyes, what would you find? Their story? Their dreams? Their fears? Their very humanity? Psychologists say that a few minutes of uninterrupted eye contact creates a strong human connection. We asked domestic workers and sponsors, who had not met before, to look at each other for 4 minutes. This is a campaign to promote equality and inclusiveness. Most importantly to remember that we are all the same, regardless of what kind of job we do or where we come from. We are promoting to look to each other equally, simply as humans.
