Resource guides for Ukrainian Migrant Domestic Workers
Hands-on resource guides have been created for Ukrainian domestic workers emigrating to Poland with readily accessible information on labour rights in their host country.
The "information passport" and its complementary Q&A leaflet offer general information on migration legislation as well as on domestic workers' labour rights. The guides also provide a list of contacts, including consulates and civil society organizations in Poland.
The resource guides have been created by partners as part of the Global Action Programme on Migrant Domestic Workers, Ukraine-Poland Corridor project. They were distributed to three Ukrainian national trade union confederations which have acknowledged them as powerful information tools for protecting domestic workers' rights abroad and providing information on labour standards in Poland.
The "passport" has been recommended for distribution via the General Consulate of the Republic of Poland, and particularly through its territorial units in western Ukraine, given the predominance of Ukrainian domestic worker migration in the region.
