VENUE: LIVERPOOL WORLD MUSEUM

Domestic work is one of the oldest occupations in the world and currently represents 10% of employment in some countries. Domestic workers work in other people’s homes performing tasks such as cooking, cleaning, laundry and taking care of children, the sick and the elderly.

Home alone, invisible to society and lacking legal protection, domestic workers are among the most exploited and abused workers in the world. Many are in slavery. International action is needed to give them legal protection and end the abuse.
