Dignity is not a luxury—it’s a right. Every domestic worker deserves to live and work with dignity. The patriarchal system that devalues care work is the same one that exposes women to harm. We must dismantle it. #TimeToCare Decent work Oxfam Canada Youth Alive ! Kenya Back Up Account Global Affairs Canada

Domestic workers are the backbone of many households-cooking, cleaning, caring for our children and elderly. Yet too often, their work goes unrecognized, underpaid and unprotected. It’s time we truly valued them #TimeToCare Decent Work @OxfamKE Oxfam Canada Youth Alive ! Kenya Back Up Account Centre for Domestic Training and Development

Over 15 million Kenyans work as domestic workers, mostly women. Many face long hours, low wages & abuse. On International Domestic Workers Day, we must ask: how are we showing up for those who serve us every day?#TimeToCare Decent Work Oxfam Canada Global Affairs Canada Youth Alive !

Nearly 60% of domestic workers have faced gender-based violence. When our homes—meant to be safe spaces—become sites of exploitation, we must act. #TimeToCare Decent Work Oxfam Canada @OxfamKE Ministry of Labour and Social Protection Youth Alive !

Domestic work is real work. Yet, it remains excluded from most legal protections. We cannot keep turning a blind eye to this injustice. We must push for policies that protect all workers. #TimeToCare Decent Work Oxfam Canada @OxfamKE Ministry of Labour and Social Protection Youth Alive !

The informal nature of domestic work should not mean informal rights. Every worker deserves legal protection, social benefits, and respect. No exceptions #TimeToCare Decent Work Youth Alive ! Kenya Back Up Account @OxfamKE KUDHEIHA WORKERS Domestic Workers Returnees of Kenya Equimundo Oxfam Canada

It’s time we dismantled the belief that domestic work is “unskilled” or “women’s work.” This labour fuels our economy and supports millions of households. #TimeToCare Decent Work Youth Alive ! Kenya Back Up Account Global Affairs Canada Oxfam Canada Ministry of Labour and Social Protection

Nairobi, Kiambu and Nakuru counties report some of the highest GBV cases among domestic workers. These numbers should alarm us. Silence is complicity. #TimeToCare Decent Work Ministry of Labour and Social Protection Oxfam Canada Youth Alive ! Kenya Back Up Account @OxfamKE Equimundo

Ratifying ILO Conventions 189 and 190 is a chance for Kenya to say: we see domestic workers, we value their labour, and we will protect their rights. Ratify Now! #TimeToCare Decent Work @OxfamKE Youth Alive ! Kenya Back Up Account Oxfam Canada Global Affairs Canada

The “care economy” isn't just a buzzword. It’s real. And it’s built on the backs of women who are underpaid and overworked. Let’s change that. Without domestic workers, our homes would fall apart. So why are their rights not treated as essential? #TimeToCare Decent Work Centre for Domestic Training and Development

The reality is stark: Some women go to the Middle East for domestic work and never return. Their families deserve answers, justice, and policy change. #TimeToCare Decent Work @OxfamKE Oxfam Canada Global Affairs Canada Youth Alive !

We must ratify ILO Conventions 189 and 190 to protect domestic workers’ rights and address violence and harassment in the workplace. Kenya has waited too long. #TimeToCare Decent Work @OxfamKE Oxfam Canada Global Affairs Canada

A safe and dignified working environment isn’t a privilege—it’s a right. Domestic workers deserve written contracts, fair pay, and protection from abuse. Let’s make this the law, not a request. # #TimeToCare Decent Work Oxfam Canada Global Affairs Canada Domestic Professionals Association of Kenya(DPAK) Centre for Domestic Training and Development

Social protection must include domestic workers. NHIF, NSSF, maternity leave, and work injury benefits must be guaranteed—whether in a household or an office. #TimeToCare Decent Work @OxfamKE Oxfam Canada Youth Alive ! Kenya Back Up Account Global Affairs Canada

Domestic workers must have access to complaint and redress mechanisms that are free, confidential and safe. No more suffering in silence #TimeToCare Oxfam Canada Global Affairs Canada Youth Alive ! Kenya Back Up Account Decent Work

Employers must be educated on fair labour practices—written contracts, respectful treatment, paid leave, and wage compliance must be the norm, not the exception. #TimeToCare Decent Work Youth Alive ! Kenya Back Up Account Centre for Domestic Training and Development @OxfamKE Global Affairs Canada

Domestic workers are not “help.” They are workers. They are women. They are human. And today, we honor them by demanding justice and Decent Work. #TimeToCare @OxfamKE Youth Alive ! Kenya Back Up Account Ministry of Labour and Social Protection Oxfam Canada Global Affairs Canada

Today is not just about celebration—it's about action. Let’s push for the ratification of ILO Conventions 189 & 190 to protect domestic workers from violence and injustice. #TimeToCare Decent work Youth Alive ! Kenya Back Up Account Oxfam Canada Global Affairs Canada
