"Implementing the Convention will require pressure from below, all workers need to work together to push for this transformation," she added.

She said despite huge contribution made by domestic workers in society, it remains largely invisible and undervalued which reflects the low value India places on social reproduction.

Ghosh said domestic work is emerging as a crucial livelihood option for million of women in the country, yet participation of women's labour force in India is amongst the lowest in the world.

India has witnessed 75 percent increase in women's domestic work force, accompanied by a significant increase in migrant domestic workers who are particularly vulnerable.

Lisa Grande, United Nations Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative said, “All workers, including domestic workers have the right to fair working conditions."

Director of the ILO Country Office Tine Staermose said a majority of 185 member states of the ILO have voted in favor of adopting the Domestic Workers Convention, which is a universal recognition on the need to protect the rights of domestic workers.

"Current initiatives in India that include expanding access to health insurance, setting minimum wages for domestic work, and organising domestic workers, are important steps towards ensuring decent working and living conditions for domestic workers," Staermose said.
