#DomesticWorkers in #Indonesia 🇮🇩 fought for more than two decades to make this victory possible. ✊🏽 A powerful reminder that even against the odds, organizing works, and domestic workers will not stop fighting for recognition, rights, and dignity. buff.ly/nxP6iXw

As the @ilo advances discussions on #GenderEquality in the world of work at #ILC2026, #DomesticWorkers must be part of the conversation. ✊🏿 Gender equality and #DecentWork cannot be achieved while domestic workers remain invisible and undervalued.

Meet Chirlene ✨ She's the General Secretary of the Domestic Workers’ Association in Campina Grande and is part of the Fiscal Council of @FENATRAD. Her story is one of resilience, organizing, and collective struggle, and we are proud to have her as part of this movement. 💚

Domestic workers are not on the margins of care systems — they sustain them. As #IMRF2026 comes to a close, we move forward toward #ILC2026 with urgency and determination to fight for rights, recognition, social protection, and #DecentWork for all domestic workers worldwide. ✊🏽

@FordFoundation Migrant #DomesticWorkers are central to the care economy, but many remain excluded from protection. Care systems must be built on rights, not exploitation. 📍 Ford Foundation Headquarters 🕒 Today | 3:15 PM – 5:00 PM 💻 Online + in person

We're joining @FordFoundation's side event "Rights, Recognition, and Redistribution in Migrant-Led #CareEconomies" at the #IMRF2026 to talk about the future of care work, migration, and why migrant domestic workers must be at the center of these discussions.

So good to see our delegation in action at the #IMRF2026 ✊🏽 Not just participating, but organising, building alliances, and helping shape migration discussions with the voices and experiences of workers themselves.

Watch the powerful poem Jec shared at a side event organised by the @CivilSociety_AC during #IMRF2026. Her words are a reminder that behind every migration policy are real lives, real sacrifices, and workers demanding recognition, protection, and rights. ✊🏽

Migrant #DomesticWorkers are clear: Migration without rights is exploitation. ✊🏿 We call for: ✔️ Labour rights ✔️ Access to justice ✔️ Protection across borders ✔️ Care policies aligned with #C189 #IMRF2026 #MigrationJustice

At #IMRF2026, migrant domestic workers are reminding us that: ➡️ Care cannot be built on invisibility ➡️ Care cannot exist without rights A just care economy must include those who make it possible!! buff.ly/wTZQFgu

#MigrantDomesticWorkers are at the heart of global care economies, supporting households, health systems, and communities across borders. Too often however, they are excluded from labour protections, denied #SocialProtection and left invisible in migration policies.
