FOR POLICYMAKERS

Failure to legislate will maintain the invisibility of CDWs to policy framework. You can end the long-term neglect by:

  • Passing Batas Kasambahay and enact national policies on domestic work that provide a legal framework for domestic work, including employer-employee relationship, work contract, and social security and health benefits, among others.
  • Recognizing domestic service as work, and as such, subject to legal provisions and regulation.
  • Integrating domestic work with policies regarding national development, poverty alleviation, social protection and education.
  • Encouraging voluntary codes of practice concerning the employment of child domestic workers.
  • Emphasize efforts to make proposed laws popular even when they are still at the legislative mill.
