International Domestic Workers Federation - IDWF

We are a membership-based global organization of domestic/household workers. By domestic/household worker we mean any person engaged in domestic/household work within an employment relationship. We believe domestic work is work and all domestic/household workers must enjoy the same rights as all other workers.

As of January 2014, we have 47 affiliates from 43 countries. Majorities of them are trade unions and others are associations and workers coops.

Our objective is to build a strong, democratic and united domestic/household workers' global organization to protect and advance domestic/household workers' rights everywhere.
