The Permanent Conference of Working Women, in cooperation with the Centre for Trade Union and Workers Services (CTUWS), organized a training course on monitoring and documentation skills, as part of a campaign for Domestic Workers aiming at protecting their social, legislative, and economic rights.
The campaign began in 2018 with the aim of opening a community dialogue about the problems of domestic workers in the absence of legal protection. In fact, the Labour Law No. 12 of 2003 excludes them from legislative protection.
In this regard, many activities have been organized with the aim of introducing C189 – Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189) – ILO that provides legislative and social protection for domestic workers, asking the Egyptian authorities, hence, to ratify it.
A round table including many legal experts, jurists, and trade union leaders has, also, been organized in the aim of introducing a law proposal that offers an equal protection to that of workers under the Labour Law No. 12 of 2003.
A bill regulating domestic work has been completed after being drafted in accordance with legislative protection in line with the articles of Labour Law No. 12 of 2003. On Sunday 14/2021/3, the proposal of the project was submitted by sixty deputies to the Parliament’s Special Committee.
