Domestic’s workers in Pemba are the most exploitative workers in both regions. This is contributed by the number of reasons such as poverty which goes down to the family level, poor policies including labor laws the growing up of the informal sector and declining of the formal sector, growth of un employment for youth and lack of social protection and security.

16/6/2015 was lucky day for CHOADAWU because it was a day of domestic workers and we were able talk with the domestic workers and shared their working experience in Pemba. They told us the major problems occurred at their workplace and most of them they don’t have a salary the only thing they get it’s only food and place to sleep because most of the domestic workers were relatives they as a socialized work.

68 domestic workers attended on June 16 event.
