They look after your children, they clean your kitchen and hang your washing but often they are invisible. For many migrant domestic workers around the world the law doesn’t protect them and their rights are trampled underfoot. They are often women and they work long hours for low pay. They have little economic security and protection from abuses.
Caritas is urging the international community to protect migrant domestic workers. They need respect from employers, freedom to change jobs and legal recognition of their work. They deserve the same rights as other workers enjoy. “Under one roof, under one law”.
