Domestic workers in Cameroon have taken up the battle to bring dignity to their profession. They’re staging protests in the capital to draw attention to their plight, including long hours and low wages. Many say they are also exploited and abused by their employers. They are now calling on government to pass legislation that protects their fundamental rights.
