domestic labor rights

Domestic labor rights refer to the legal protections and benefits afforded to individuals who work in households, such as cleaners, caregivers, and nannies. These rights can include fair wages, reasonable working hours, the right to rest, and protection against discrimination and harassment. In many places, domestic workers are considered employees and should receive the same benefits as other workers, such as overtime pay and access to social security. Advocating for these rights helps ensure that domestic workers, often from marginalized communities, are treated fairly and with dignity in their essential roles.
