2010 Domestic Workers Bill of Rights

The 2010 Domestic Workers Bill of Rights is a legislative measure aimed at improving labor conditions for domestic workers, such as housekeepers, caregivers, and nannies. It establishes basic rights, including guaranteed minimum wage, overtime pay, and protection against discrimination and harassment. This bill recognizes the important role of domestic workers in the economy and seeks to ensure they receive fair treatment and legal protections, which had often been overlooked. By formalizing these rights, the legislation aims to promote dignity and respect for the work performed in private homes.
