Paid household work, or domestic work, is one of the main occupations for women in the region. In 2021, 9.7% of women in paid employment worked in this sector in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The data also show that it is a profession with an over-representation of indigenous, Afro-descendant and migrant women in many countries, as well as women heads of household. Similarly, significant percentages of domestic workers are found in the poorest strata of society and the occupation has close links to issues such as forced migration, trafficking in women and girls, child labor, labor exploitation and slavery, and violence against women.
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of Convention 189 of the International Labour Organization (ILO) on domestic workers (2011-2021) and in the framwork of the institutional collaboration between the CIM and the Pan American Development Foundation (PADF), we developed a series of tools to promote knowledge of domestic worker's rights, support the formulation, implementation and monitoring of public policies, and strengthen workers's organizations in their fight to demand their rights.
