Manifestations and causes of domestic servitude 2010, para. 85
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- As early as 1965, the ILO passed a resolution calling for normative action to improve the condition of domestic workers. However, this call has yet to be heeded by the international community of States. None of the 188 ILO conventions to date specifically addresses domestic workers. Instead, many key conventions contain "flexibility clauses" that have been used by certain States to specifically exclude domestic workers from the protective ambit of the conventions. Among more recent treaties, the Maternity Protection Convention (No. 183) and the Night Work Convention (No. 171) allow States to exclude "limited categories of workers when the application of the Convention to them would raise special problems of a substantial nature" (common art. 2).
