About Us :
Just like other workers, domestic workers began organizing since long time ago in many places of the world.

It was only in November 2006 that they first came together at an international conference, hosted by the FNV Netherlands. Then they formed the idea of building an international network for all the domestic workers.

With the support of the IUF and Women in Informal Employment Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO), and the strong role played by the International Trades Union Confederation (ITUC), the Global Labor Institute (GLI) and ILO, this international networking flourished.
