New Era for Domestic Workers

Overwhelmingly, ILO members voted in favor of an international convention for the respect of domestic workers' rights!

Convention 189 was approved by 396 votes in favor, 16 against and 63 abstentions.

The attached Recommendations were even more overwhelmingly approved with 434 votes in favor, 8 against and 42 abstentions.

This Convention has been possible due to years of hard work of our domestic worker sisters from around the world creating a global domestic workers' movement.
