IDWN - International Domestic Workers' Network
Date: 09/11/2009 - 17:25
An initiative of domestic workers' unions together with support organisations. The objectives of the network are: to assist in the organisation of domestic workers' unions where they do not yet exist; to serve as a clearing house for the exchange of information; to organise mutual support and solidarity; to advance common political aims (international standards, national legislation); to represent domestic workers at international level; and to secure the support of the wider labour movement for each of these objectives.
