Millions of women and girls around the world turn to domestic work in order to provide for themselves and their families. Instead of guaranteeing their ability to work with dignity and free of violence, governments have systematically denied them key labor protections extended to other workers. Domestic workers, often making extraordinary sacrifices to support their families, are among the most exploited and abused workers in the world.

Taking care of our homes, children, elders, and growing our food, is some of the most essential human work, but it is not valued by our society. It is work done by people of color, immigrants, women. And this devaluation is institutionalized. Domestic workers and farmworkers were left out of the National Labor Relations Act in the 1930's to appease Southern segregationists, who were afraid of African-American organizing. But today, once again, domestic workers are organizing. There are over 30 grassroots domestic worker organizations across the country, grappling with how to win respect and dignity for these workers. Together they have formed the National Domestic Worker Alliance.

A domestic worker is a person who works within the employer's household. Domestic workers perform a variety of household services for an individual or a family, from providing care for children and elderly dependents to cleaning and household maintenance, known as housekeeping. Responsibilities may also include cooking, doing laundry and ironing, food shopping and other household errands. Some domestic workers live within the household where they work.
The conditions faced by domestic workers have varied considerably throughout history and in the contemporary world. In the course of twentieth-century movements for labour rights, women's rights and immigrant rights, the conditions faced by domestic workers and the problems specific to their class of employment have come to the fore. In 2011, the International Labour Organization adopted the Convention Concerning Decent Work for Domestic Workers which covers decent work conditions for domestic workers. Recent ILO estimates based on national surveys and/or censuses of 117 countries, place the number of domestic workers at around 53 million. But the ILO itself states that "experts say that due to the fact that this kind of work is often hidden and unregistered, the total number of domestic workers could be as high as 100 million". The ILO also states that 83% of domestic workers are women and many are migrant workers.

Hong Kong's Hidden Shame: Why is foreign domestic worker abuse so rampant?Hong Kong's Hidden Shame: Why is foreign domestic worker abuse so rampant?
Early this year, news broke that a young maid in Hong Kong was brutally tortured by her employer. The pictures of Erwiana's burned and bruised body went viral, sparking protests and international attention. What is perhaps even more shocking is that, while her case was extreme, it was by no means unique. Many of Hong Kong's over 300,000 foreign domestic workers are underpaid and suffer slave-like treatment at the hands of their (often female) employers. And most of these abuse cases go unreported. But why is this happening in a wealthy, cosmopolitan city with a reputation for respecting human rights? Coconuts TV traveled to Hong Kong to find out.

In a recruitment Centre, young women undergo training to become domestic workers. They learn how to use a microwave, how to take care of an infant and how to speak their future employers language. In order to make money to provide for their families, every month approximately 35000 Indonesian women get on a plane to work abroad. However, this documentary film shows how the dream for a brighter future sometimes turns into a nightmare: under brutal conditions, domestic workers are turned into servants without a voice.

From Saudia Arabia To Hong Kong A Story Of Indonesian Domestic Worker
Sugardi has worked in Hong Kong for 18 years. When I spoke to her I thought we finally had a success story on our hands, a woman who has worked with two employers in Hong Kong, been here for nearly two decades and has been able to build a life for her family back home. She was chirpy and spoke at length about how she is now planning to go home, even though the family she works for her feels like home too. Then I asked her if she has worked elsewhere, before the on camera interview she had mentioned working in saudi, we did not ask her details of the work in Saudi. Her story is a true "stories beyond borders story", abuse is not limited to a certain race, culture or religion, therefore we should never allow it to be justified in those names.

Sally, originally from the Philippines, has been working in Hong Kong for the past twenty years. She is the sole breadwinner for her family. Sally spoke to SBB about her life before coming to Hong Kong, she worked at a factory and decided to move to Hong Kong owing to the difficulties she faced and the low wages in the Phillipines. In total there are over 310,000 domestic helpers in Hong Kong, none of whom has the "right to abode" even if living here for decades. This is in stark contrast to migrant workers from countless other countries who have the right to abode if they live in Hong Kong for 7 consecutive years.

Taking care of our homes, children, elders, and growing our food, is some of the most essential human work, but it is not valued by our society. It is work done by people of color, immigrants, women. And this devaluation is institutionalized. Domestic workers and farmworkers were left out of the National Labor Relations Act in the 1930's to appease Southern segregationists, who were afraid of African-American organizing. But today, once again, domestic workers are organizing. There are over 30 grassroots domestic worker organizations across the country, grappling with how to win respect and dignity for these workers. Together they have formed the National Domestic Worker Alliance.
About Andrea Cristina Mercado, lead organizer at Mujeres Unidas y Activas:
Mujeres Unidas y Activas is a grassroots Latina immigrant women's organization in the San Francisco Bay Area, for which Andrea coordinates MUA's campaign for Workers Rights Inside and Outside the Home. She is currently leading a statewide effort to include domestic workers in labor laws and is one of the cofounders of the National Domestic Workers Alliance. She has also lived and worked in Bahia, Brazil, with IPETERRAS, a sustainable agriculture project organizing against free-trade agreements and as Global Justice Organizer for the Miami Workers Center.
This talk is part of Session Two: Movement for TEDxFruitvale, which was held on October 14, 2011 at Mills College in Oakland, CA. The conference's theme was Harvesting Change, and it focused on farmworkers, labor and other social justice movements, and fair labor practices in business.

Early this year, news broke that a young maid in Hong Kong was brutally tortured by her employer. The pictures of Erwiana's burned and bruised body went viral, sparking protests and international attention. What is perhaps even more shocking is that, while her case was extreme, it was by no means unique. Many of Hong Kong's over 300,000 foreign domestic workers are underpaid and suffer slave-like treatment at the hands of their (often female) employers. And most of these abuse cases go unreported.
But why is this happening in a wealthy, cosmopolitan city with a reputation for respecting human rights?

Sugardi has worked in Hong Kong for 18 years. When I spoke to her I thought we finally had a success story on our hands, a woman who has worked with two employers in Hong Kong, been here for nearly two decades and has been able to build a life for her family back home. She was chirpy and spoke at length about how she is now planning to go home, even though the family she works for her feels like home too.
Then I asked her if she has worked elsewhere, before the on camera interview she had mentioned working in saudi, we did not ask her details of the work in Saudi. Her story is a true "stories beyond borders story", abuse is not limited to a certain race, culture or religion, therefore we should never allow it to be justified in those names.
