Filipino domestic workers
Filipino domestic workers: Maximum demand, minimum protection: Project flyer
Domestic work is in high demand in the Philiippines and abroad. However, domestic workers are often at risk due to the nature of their work: in private homes, away from public scrutiny and invisible and hard to quantify.
Most domestic workers are made to do virtually all the household tasks, often with little regard for the hours they need to complete all these cleaning, grocery shopping, cooking, taking care of the young and elderly, gardening, laundry and ironing.
Sometimes, the employer will also make the domestic worker work for friends and relatives and work in their shops or businesses.
