India: Decent work for domestic workers

In India, there are nearly 5 million people working in the homes of others - most of them are women. The number of these domestic workers has swelled by more than 200 per cent in recent years, yet society in general continues to pay little attention to working conditions and the lack of social protection afforded to those in domestic work. The ILO Office in India, along with its constituents and partners, has launched an awareness raising and advocacy campaign to address these issues.
