Our objective is to build a strong, democratic and united #DomesticWorkers' global organization to protect and advance domestic workers' rights everywhere.

🔵 #ILC2026 / We are facing a global context marked by the rise of authoritarianism, democratic rollbacks, and a deliberate weakening of trade unions. The path toward social justice for workers is clear: organize, unite, and transform systems together. ✊🏿🗣️

[IDWF - International Domestic Workers Federation @IDWFED]

@ilo These standards must apply to ALL platform workers, regardless of employment status. They cannot roll back existing fundamental rights at work. Instead, they must reinforce those rights while advancing new protections that reflect the realities of platform-mediated labor.

[IDWF - International Domestic Workers Federation @IDWFED]

Together with over 30 worker organizations, trade unions, and civil society groups, we call on the @ILO to protect the rights of millions of workers globally by establishing robust international labor standards for the platform economy. #ILC2026

Domestic workers are not on the margins of these debates, we are at the center of the transformations reshaping the world of work. Nothing about us without us!

[IDWF - International Domestic Workers Federation @IDWFED]

The 114th Session of the International Labour Conference #ILC2026 has just started in Geneva. This year, governments, employers, and workers will discuss gender equality at work, social dialogue and tripartism, and #DecentWork in the #PlatformEconomy.

This year is especially significant as we also celebrate 15 years of ILO Convention 189, a landmark achievement that transformed the recognition and rights of domestic workers around the world.

[IDWF - International Domestic Workers Federation @IDWFED]

#DomesticWorkers in #Indonesia 🇮🇩 fought for more than two decades to make this victory possible. ✊🏽 A powerful reminder that even against the odds, organizing works, and domestic workers will not stop fighting for recognition, rights, and dignity.

As the @ilo advances discussions on #GenderEquality in the world of work at #ILC2026, #DomesticWorkers must be part of the conversation. ✊🏿

Gender equality and #DecentWork cannot be achieved while domestic workers remain invisible and undervalued.

Meet Chirlene ✨ She's the General Secretary of the Domestic Workers’ Association in Campina Grande and is part of the Fiscal Council of @FENATRAD.

Her story is one of resilience, organizing, and collective struggle, and we are proud to have her as part of this movement. 💚

[IDWF - International Domestic Workers Federation @IDWFED]

Domestic workers are not on the margins of care systems — they sustain them. As #IMRF2026 comes to a close, we move forward toward #ILC2026 with urgency and determination to fight for rights, recognition, social protection, and #DecentWork for all domestic workers worldwide. ✊🏽

@FordFoundation Migrant #DomesticWorkers are central to the care economy, but many remain excluded from protection. Care systems must be built on rights, not exploitation.

We're joining @FordFoundation's side event "Rights, Recognition, and Redistribution in Migrant-Led #CareEconomies" at the #IMRF2026 to talk about the future of care work, migration, and why migrant domestic workers must be at the center of these discussions.

[IDWF - International Domestic Workers Federation @IDWFED]

So good to see our delegation in action at the #IMRF2026 ✊🏽 Not just participating, but organising, building alliances, and helping shape migration discussions with the voices and experiences of workers themselves.

[IDWF - International Domestic Workers Federation @IDWFED]

Watch the powerful poem Jec shared at a side event organised by the @CivilSociety_AC during #IMRF2026. Her words are a reminder that behind every migration policy are real lives, real sacrifices, and workers demanding recognition, protection, and rights. ✊🏽

[IDWF - International Domestic Workers Federation @IDWFED]

Migrant #DomesticWorkers are clear: Migration without rights is exploitation. ✊🏿

We call for:
✔️ Labour rights
✔️ Access to justice
✔️ Protection across borders
✔️ Care policies aligned with #C189

#IMRF2026 #MigrationJustice

[IDWF - International Domestic Workers Federation @IDWFED]

At #IMRF2026, migrant domestic workers are reminding us that:

➡️ Care cannot be built on invisibility
➡️ Care cannot exist without rights

A just care economy must include those who make it possible!! https://t.co/c0n1lEJ1Bw

[IDWF - International Domestic Workers Federation @IDWFED]

#MigrantDomesticWorkers are at the heart of global care economies, supporting households, health systems, and communities across borders.

Too often however, they are excluded from labour protections, denied #SocialProtection and left invisible in migration policies.

[IDWF - International Domestic Workers Federation @IDWFED]

"Segundo pesquisa da @oit e da @IDWFed, as trabalhadoras domésticas compõem uma das categorias mais precarizadas do mercado de trabalho brasileiro, com baixos níveis de proteção social, salários reduzidos e jornadas extensas."

In the face of escalating conflicts, we urge Member States at the #IMRF2026 to build a resilient global migration system grounded in human rights, international law, and migrant-centered international cooperation.
