Problems faced by Domestic Workers

Domestic workers take up drudgery of washing, cleaning, cooking and other menial tasks in other people’s households for their own survival. They suffer from:

  • Long hours of work
  • Years of toil
  • No living wages
  • No rest or recreation
  • Sexual harassment
  • Abuse of their dignity
  • Stigma of untouchability
  • Inhumane treatment
