Social discrimination; Sociology; Sociology: work & labour; Demonstrations & protest movements; Industrial relations & safety

Offers a unique nine-country comparison: Spain, Italy and Germany in Europe; Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil in South America; and India, the Philippines and Taiwan in Asia.

Drawing from the EU-funded DomEQUAL research project across nine countries in Europe, South America and Asia, this comparative study explores the conditions of domestic workers around the world and the campaigns they are conducting to improve their labour rights.

The book showcases how domestic workers' movements put 'intersectionality in action' in repre-senting the interest of various marginalized social groups from migrants and low-income groups to racialized and rural girls and women.

Casting light on issues such as subjectivation and collective organizing on the part of a category of workers conventionally regarded as unorganizable, this ambitious volume will be invaluable for scholars, policy makers and activists alike.

Reviews for Global Domestic Workers: Intersectional Inequalities and Struggles for Rights

"""This book is a major contribution to our understanding of the crucial role of domestic work in the global political economy and the transformative power of the struggle of domestic workers across the world."" Silvia Federici, Hofstra University ""Global Domestic Workers provides the most up to date portrait of this worldwide essential workforce, made even more precarious during COVID times. Complicating the interplay between the global struggle for worker rights, local activism and national rulemaking, it offers a self-reflective understanding of the gaps between organized women's movements and domestic workers. In the process, domestic workers emerge as organic intellectuals as well as fighters for dignity and recognition.""Eileen Boris, University of California, Santa Barbara"
