Civil Society and professional groups have called on the Government to develop new care policies, implement existing labour laws and employment policies for migrant domestic workers.
Kenya Union of Domestic Hotels Educational Institutions Hospitals and Allied Workers (Kudheiha) and Oxfam Kenya on Friday expressed concern over the Government’s response to challenges faced by migrant domestic workers, especially in the Middle East and North African countries.
“Reports received by various actors and trade unions have shown how Kenyan migrant domestic workers are facing gross human rights violations, with many of them working in unsafe environments characterised by poor or no pay,” said Kudheiha Secretary General Albert Njeru.
