Onsdag og torsdag mødes repræsentanter for UN Women, Jamaicas regering og den Internationale Migrations Organisation IOM, for at diskutere migrant – hushjælpens situation.
In the lead up to the concluding debate of the 2011 Global Forum on Migration and Development to be hosted later in the year, UN Women, in collaboration with the Government of Jamaica and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), is hosting a regional conference “Migrant Domestic Workers at the interface of migration and development: Action to expand good practice” from 7 to 8 September in Kingston, Jamaica.
Focusing on the need to implement protections for domestic workers, the Conference will be attended by key government actors and technical experts, civil society representatives and representatives of regional and international organizations.
Participants will strongly call for the protection of domestic workers’ rights; and a gender sensitive checklist which will provide recognition and labour and social protections to domestic work; and guidelines for employment contracts for domestic workers.
