PERU -

In the center of Lima an informative fair was realized to celebrate the international domestic workers' day the 30 of March. With a musical frame, informative chats, psychological and legal direction, in Alameda Chabuca Granda the “5th Great Fair of Rights for Domestic Workers” took place.

The aim of this activity was to inform and to sensitize the population on the duties and rights of this group.

Julio Cesár Bazán, president of the Central Workers' Union Peru, asked the government to ratify Convention 189 of the International Labor Organization – ILO, which recognizes a series of rights for these workers.
