Abstract：
This commentary highlights the critical importance of ratifying the International Labour Organization\'s (ILO) Domestic Workers Convention No. 189-2011 (C189) to secure the rights and health of domestic workers (DWs) worldwide, particularly in light of the World Health Organization\'s World Health Day 2024 theme \'My Health, My Right\'. The ILO\'s C189 represents a significant advancement in labour rights, offering protection to a highly feminised sector where women make up 80% of the estimated 50-100 million DWs worldwide. The ILO\'s C189 aims to address the marginalisation and exploitation that DWs have historically faced by ensuring that they receive the same protections as other workers. This encompasses measures against abuse, harassment and violence, and the establishment of a secure and healthy working environment, as outlined in Article 13. The commentary emphasises the urgent need for the enactment of legal frameworks in countries such as Indonesia, where many of the approximately 10 million DWs encounter shocking abuses both within the country and abroad. The ratification of the C189 and the enactment of national laws, such as Indonesia\'s Draft Law on the Protection of Domestic Workers (RUU PPRT), are essential for the safeguarding of the rights and health of DWs. The commentary compares Indonesia with the Philippines, as the latter has been a signatory to the C189 since 2012 and has enacted its National Domestic Workers Act in 2013. The ratification of the C189, therefore, is imperative for igniting the protection and advancement of labour rights for DWs globally. This ILO\'s C189 represents a significant first step in addressing the long-standing and complex issues of marginalisation and exploitation prevalent in this predominantly female sector. It is also essential that the potential obstacles and concerns related to the ratification and implementation of the ILO\'s C189 are addressed collaboratively by stakeholders and not viewed as justifications for inaction.
摘要：
本评论强调了批准国际劳工组织（ILO）《家庭佣工公约》的至关重要性。189-2011（C189），以确保全球家政工人（DWS）的权利和健康，特别是根据世界卫生组织2024年世界卫生日的主题“我的健康”，我的权利\'。国际劳工组织的C189代表了劳工权利的重大进步，为高度女性化的部门提供保护，在全球估计的50-100亿DWs中，女性占80％。国际劳工组织的C189旨在解决DWs历史上面临的边缘化和剥削问题，确保他们获得与其他工人相同的保护。这包括防止滥用的措施，骚扰和暴力,建立安全健康的工作环境，如第13条所述。评论强调，迫切需要在印度尼西亚等国家制定法律框架，大约1000万DWs中的许多人在国内和国外都遇到了令人震惊的虐待。批准C189和颁布国家法律，例如印度尼西亚的家庭工人保护法草案(RUUPPRT)，对于维护DWs的权利和健康至关重要。评论将印度尼西亚与菲律宾进行了比较，自2012年以来，后者一直是C189的签署国，并于2013年颁布了《国家家庭工人法》。因此，C189的批准，必须在全球范围内点燃对DWs劳工权利的保护和进步。国际劳工组织的C189是解决这一主要女性部门普遍存在的长期和复杂的边缘化和剥削问题的重要第一步。同样重要的是，与批准和实施国际劳工组织C189有关的潜在障碍和关切必须由利益相关者合作解决，而不是被视为不采取行动的理由。
