In relation to domestic workers, labour inspections are particularly challenging, as private households are usually off-limits for the inspectors and domestic workers are highly vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. The Special Rapporteur believes labour inspections inside private households, as well as regular meetings between domestic workers and a labour inspector outside the household, would be important to combat the too-frequent abuse of domestic workers: privacy is as important for the domestic worker as it is important for her employer.
