Over the past five years, domestic women workers in India have faced numerous challenges and difficulties. Despite some efforts to improve their conditions, many of these issues persist. 

The post-pandemic era intensified the issues and problems for the workers. Here we have shortlisted a few problems in this field where we can bring in and enumerate a change with your help.  

• Low wages: Many domestic workers in India are paid very low wages, often below the minimum wage. This can make it difficult for them to make ends meet and support their families.
• Lack of job security: Domestic workers often lack job security and may be dismissed without notice or compensation.
• Long working hours: Domestic workers in India often work long, sometimes up to 12 hours a day, with no overtime pay or breaks.
• Lack of respect: Domestic workers are often treated disrespectfully and may face verbal or physical abuse from their employers. They may also be subjected to discrimination based on their caste, religion, or gender. 
• No social security benefits: Domestic workers are not entitled to social security benefits such as health insurance, pension, or maternity benefits. 

We are looking at alternative policies in our movement as well:

• National Domestic Workers Policy: The Indian government could develop and implement a national policy focused on domestic workers. The policy could provide guidelines for the fair treatment of domestic workers, including working hours, wages, social security, and grievance redressal mechanisms. The policy could also include measures to increase awareness and educate employers about the rights of domestic workers.
• Mandatory Registration: Domestic workers could be required to register with a government agency to ensure that labor laws protect them. This would give domestic workers legal recognition, entitling them to social security benefits, including healthcare, pension, and life insurance. Employers who hire unregistered domestic workers could be penalized, and
  the registration process could be simplified to encourage more domestic workers to participate.
• Domestic Workers' Unions: Domestic workers could be encouraged to form unions to advocate for their rights collectively. Unions could provide a platform for domestic workers to voice their grievances and negotiate better
  working conditions and wages. Unions could also provide legal aid and support for domestic workers who experience harassment or abuse.
• Mandatory Training and Certification: The Indian government could mandate training and certification programs for domestic workers. This would ensure domestic workers have the necessary skills to perform their jobs effectively and safely. Certification could also increase the value of domestic
  work and help employers recognize the importance of their work. 
•  Incentives for Employers: The Indian government could incentivize employers who treat their domestic workers fairly. Employers who pay fair wages, provide safe working conditions, and offer social security benefits could be eligible for tax breaks or other financial incentives. This could encourage more employers to treat their domestic workers with respect and
  dignity.
  
  

We want to tackle these problems and instigate specific laws and provisions for the domestic workers in Indian Households to have a voice and opinion and build a better societal future.
