Today we celebrate .
On June 16, 2011, the International Labor Organization (ILO) adopted Convention 189, a landmark agreement recognizing domestic workers' rights to fair wages, safe working conditions, and labor protections.
Domestic workers care for our children, support older adults, and help households thrive. Yet too many continue to face low wages, exploitation, and exclusion from basic labor rights.
Today, we honor their contributions and recommit to the fight for dignity, respect, and justice for all domestic workers.
When domestic workers thrive, our families, communities, and economy thrive.
