Summary
The Guide provides background information on domestic work and offers tools, practical examples and tips to advocate for domestic workers' rights and to organise them in trade unions. The Guide does not cover all aspects of domestic work, but is designed to give a taste of the importance of the issue. It is to help you campaign and organise in your country in the run up to the International Labour Conference. Once new international standards are adopted, the Guide could help you make sure the new rights are effectively implemented in your country. You can use different sections at different times.
