ILO Promote : Decent Work for Domestic Workers to End Child Domestic Work

ILO Promote : Decent Work for Domestic Workers to End Child Domestic Work ILO PROMOTE Project aims at promoting Decent Work for Domestic Work and reducing Child Domestic Workers.

In June 2011, the ILO adopted ILO Convention No. 189 on Decent Work for Domestic Workers (DWDWs) that, in ratifying Member states, will extend key labor protection to millions of workers, mostly women and children, whose basic rights are not assured. This Convention
constitutes the fi rst global standard for the 52.6 million1 domestic workers (DWs) worldwide. Through its adoption, the Internationa

l Labour Conference gave a clear message: DWs, like other workers, have the right to decent working and living conditions. The Convention makes clear that children above the minimum age for employment must be given special protection when employed in domestic work. The PROMOTE project promotes the realization of DWDWs as a means to reduce child domestic labor. PROMOTE Project aims at reducing CDWs significantly by building institutional capacities of DWOs to promote DWDW effectively. The Project works to increase the knowledge, skills and expertise on reducing CDWs and promote DWDW of the DWOs, with a main focus on Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country and home to millions of child and adult domestic workers. Effectiveness in Indonesia will undoubtedly reach large numbers and have a ripple effect on policy development in the region, especially in ASEAN.
