A seminar was organized by the BVG Foundation to provide special training and employment opportunities for the Empowerment of the Domestic Women Workers. Domestic work has been one of the oldest jobs in the world. Due to various reasons like drought, lack of agriculture, lack of employment option, land acquisition in the name of development, displacement, harassment of Dalit class, lack of basic amenities like medical facilities, water, etc., people migrate from the villages to the cities.
These migrants are mostly poor and disadvantaged and they get work in the unorganized sector in the city. Women also have to work because of the high cost of living and poor economic conditions. Due to the lack of education and skill in women, the easiest livelihood for them is domestic work and they are forced to do it. Also, by understanding the problems of Domestic Women Workers, BVG foundation planned to organize special programs. The project educated women domestic workers and organize them to defend their rights and prevent exploitation. The project also empowered women and created awareness of their issues in the public.
