Call for organisational endorsements

TELL GOVERNMENTS TO VOTE FOR AN INTERNATIONAL LAW ON DOMESTIC WORK

It is time to stop the slavery-like conditions endured by domestic workers. An international agreement that recognises that domestic workers are entitled to be treated fairly as workers is essential. Last year, the International Labour Conference proposed just that. However, neither the Indonesian nor Malaysian Governments supported the proposed domestic workers convention.

Support the campaign to ask these governments to vote to adopt the Convention and Recommendation on domestic work at the International Labour Conference in June 2011.

Together our voices of concern will be loud and influential.

TAKE ACTION: GIVE YOUR ORGANISATION'S ENDORSEMENT HERE

APWLD’s letter writing campaign will take our collective voices and urge the Indonesian and Malaysian governments to vote to adopt the ILOs proposed Convention and Recommendation on Domestic Work.
