Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 6
Abstract
From primitive society workers had no dignity. Among them domestic workers were in a crucial position. Even in this 21st century of science & technology, their position became worse, let alone to improve their position. Domestic workers have varied dimensions. This paper is concerned with the migrant domestic workers. This paper opens with the normative and economic case for promoting and protecting migrant domestic workers, highlighting emerging trends in migrant domestic work that further reinforce the need for protection. It tries to find out the reason of abuses of migrant domestic workers. This paper proceeds to foreground the ILO Convention No. 189, and discusses strategies and practices aligned with international human rights standards. This paper also speaks about the present scenario of implementation of ILO Convention No. 189. Finally some recommendations have been provided on what government can do further in partnership with civil society and international organizations to implement legal and social protections for migrant domestic workers.
