Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development (APWLD) is seeking organisational endorsements for our campaign to urge the Indonesian and Malaysian Governments to vote for adoption of 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
