Domestic Workers Advocate for Rights, Push for Legal Framework

Domestic Workers Advocate for Rights, Push for Legal Framework

Domestic workers in India are asking for better rights, like paid time off and maternity leave, similar to what other workers get.

They shared their experiences at a meeting, and a survey showed they often have limited leave and no written contracts.

The Supreme Court also pointed out that these workers need more legal protection.

Experts are suggesting that their workplaces be treated like regular workplaces to ensure they get the same rights.
