Global: IDWF calls for Abolition of the Kafala System to Protect Migrant Domestic Workers Rights

The IDWF represented half a million domestic workers over the world. Many of them are migrant women. At the panel titled "Decent work and labour mobility," Vicky Kanyoka pointed out that African countries have emerged as new countries of origin for migrant domestic workers going to the Middle East in recent years. However, data and information are lacking. Kafala system restrains workers' freedom of mobility and limits workers' ability to escape from exploitations and seek justice.
