The National Domestic Workers’ Movement (NDWM)
is a Movement and a non-governmental organization working with
domestic workers, child domestic workers and migrant workers. We
are active in 23 states of India and work towards achieving
dignity for domestic work and workers, at both a national and
international level.
NDWM encourages participation and
leadership in the hands of domestic workers. Together we stand
for the rights of domestic workers, seeking justice
and legislation for them. We create a strong public
awareness to enable domestic workers to achieve a healthy
recognition in society.
-
NDWM organizes Domestic Workers, empowering them
through leadership and capacity building programmes and
informing them of their rights.
-
Various awareness campaigns are conducted to
sensitize the public, governing bodies and policy makers of the
plight of domestic workers.
-
NDWM constantly works towards providing due
justice to domestic workers along with recognition and dignity
of labour.
-
In addition, the Movement intervenes in crisis
situations and helps trafficked women and child domestic workers
to be re-instated with their families, before they are given
necessary trauma counselling and support along with medical aid.
-
Advocacy, campaigns and lobbying with governing
bodies, policy makers and the society remain the agenda for the
Movement to help liberate Domestic workers

related issues and concerns:
