Decent work for domestic workers

Decent work for domestic workers: Project fact sheet

The Domestic Workers Project aimed to focus on key areas of action: pushing for laws for domestic workers to be passed; studying and teaching more for the situation of the domestic workers to be understood; and reaching out to domestic workers to empower them.

The ILO launched efforts to uphold the rights of domestic workers including the Philippines. The Mobilizing Action for the Protection of Domestic Workers from Forced Labour and Trafficking (DOMWORK) project blazed the trail leading the establishment of a network of ILO’s partners including non-government organizations, civil society organizations, the academe, the informal economy workers group and faith-based organizations.
