Protecting domestic workers against forced labour

Protecting Domestic Workers Against Forced Labour and Trafficking

Domestic work is common in the Philippines. Domestic workers are employed in private households, often isolated from their own families and networks. They sweep floors, wash dishes and care for children, but are hidden from the public, for the most part unregistered and poorly covered by labour laws and social protection schemes.
