GLOBAL -

The C189 is a powerful tool to make change in the lives of domestic workers. Since June 16, 2011, we have not stopped educating, organizing, and mobilizing domestic workers around the world, and we have won 22 ratifications!

This June 16, we call upon the employers of domestic workers to support the rights of domestic workers in their homes by signing the "My Fair Home" pledge. By making the My Fair Home pledge employers commit to uphold the rights of domestic workers working in their home based on core protections provided by C189.

Domestic workers do the work that makes all other work possible. We know there are many people in our communities who respect our work and our dignity as human beings.  Let’s all advance the "My Fair Home" campaign. Encourage your members to talk to their employers to make the pledge. Work with trade unions national centres to target their members who are employers of domestic workers to raise awareness among their members on domestic workers’ rights, sign the pledge, and to strengthen their support. Through this, we will build and expand the networks of supporters, particularly with employers.

Reach out to your IDWF Regional Coordinator to discuss how your organization can support the My Fair Home campaign!

Elizabeth Tang
IDWF General Secretary
