Call to protect the rights of domestic workers
The International Domestic Workers Day was organised at Kotha Jalaripeta here on Monday (June 16). I. Krishna Kumari, community trainer, Action Aid Karnataka Projects, termed domestic workers 'leaders of cities'. J.V. Ratnam, founder-secretary of the NGO Green Climate Team, said the day was meant to recognise and honour the hard work and service of domestic workers and to honour their rights. It was unfortunate that domestic workers, mostly women and migrant workers who play a vital role in society, do not get due recognition and respect for their work. On this day, the focus should be on protecting the rights of domestic workers, improving their conditions and working towards equality. The participants spoke on the need to organise awareness programmes and discuss the rights of domestic workers. Over a hundred domestic workers participated in the meeting.
