Global Domestic Workers
EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Drawing from the EU-funded DomEQUAL research project across 9 countries in Europe, South America and Asia, this comparative study explores the conditions of domestic workers around the world and the campaigns they are conducting to improve their labour rights.

By moving continuously between the workplace and the homes of the workers, it talks not only about labour but labouring lives. It also discusses public policy and politics with their historical negligence of this section of workers, as well as the recent attempts to give them voice and visibility.
