At this day and age, the work is harder. Governments are rolling back rights and attacking hard-won protections. Workers are under pressure — and that makes our organizing and planning more urgent than ever.

El uso de la fuerza militar y la intervención externa violan el derecho internacional y plantean graves riesgos para la soberanía de Venezuela, la paz y la estabilidad regionales, y la protección de los #DerechosHumanos en todo el mundo.

The use of military force and external intervention violates international law and poses grave risks to Venezuela’s sovereignty, regional peace and stability, and the protection of human rights everywhere.

The #DomesticWorkers global movement calls for an immediate end to these illegitimate actions against 🇻🇪, full respect for #HumanRights, release of all those unlawfully detained, and an urgent return to dialogue through diplomatic channels within the framework of the
United Nations system.

This aggression, clearly driven by economic interests, not only violates Venezuela’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the Venezuelan people’s right to self-determination; it also undermines international law, regional peace and stability, and the multilateral system.

From being falsely accused to becoming a confident leader who recruits other #DomesticWorkers into Homeworkers’ Trade Union of Nepal, Sabitri Chaudhary’s story is a powerful reminder that when workers are organized, change becomes possible.

⭐️ How do we make ILO Convention 189 real in law and in practice?

Through strong unions that leverage symbolic power and use relational power to open doors to social dialogue, where institutional power is built. From there, we can drive legal and cultural change, so domestic work (+)
