Migrant Domestic Workers

Migrant domestic workers are individuals who travel from their home countries to work in private households, performing tasks such as cleaning, cooking, childcare, and elder care. Often employed through recruitment agencies or personal arrangements, they contribute significantly to households and economies worldwide. However, they may face challenges like limited legal protections, exposure to exploitation or abuse, and social isolation. Recognizing their essential role, many countries are working to improve their rights, working conditions, and access to legal safeguards to ensure fair treatment and dignity for these workers.
