It emphasizes fair treatment, safe working conditions, proper wages, rest periods, and protection from exploitation and abuse. The convention also recognizes the importance of these workers’ social protections and rights to organize and seek help. Its goal is to ensure domestic workers are treated with dignity and their work valued, helping to improve their well-being and ensure equal rights under the law.
