We are organising a webinar to discuss the problems of domestic workers during the COVID-19 crisis

The International Labour Organization (ILO) Office for Turkey will hold a webinar on Tuesday, 30 June 2020 under the “More and Better Jobs for Women” programme implemented with funding from Sweden to increase the number of women working in decent work conditions in Turkey.
