🧵1/3 🔵 #ILC2026 This is a victory for all platform workers, including #DomesticWorkers who rely on apps and digital platforms to find work. It is a step forward in the fight to be recognized as workers and to ensure dignity and respect prevail over insecurity and exploitation. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Eight out of ten domestic workers are in informal employment, meaning they are excluded from #SocialProtection such as maternity benefits, family and child benefits, medical care, sickness coverage, unemployment protection, and pensions.

🔵 #ILC2026 / In the #PlatformEconomy, #DomesticWorkers shoulder all the risks, while digital labor platforms make massive profits. We are at the #ILC2026 to urge Member States to adopt a robust ILO Convention that ensures technological progress does not come at the expense of workers’ rights. ✊🏿

🔵 #ILC2026 / We fight for robust, equitable, and gender-responsive care policies that ensure #DecentWork for #DomesticWorkers, while securing access to quality care for them and their families. Care must be recognized as the foundation of gender equality. ✊🏿

🔵 #ILC2026 / We are facing a global context marked by the rise of authoritarianism, democratic rollbacks, and a deliberate weakening of trade unions. The path toward social justice for workers is clear: organize, unite, and transform systems together. ✊🏿🗣️
