The Domestic Worker Safety & Dignity Project will address the work life of immigrant Latina domestic workers, with the vision of transforming the conditions within and the perception of this industry from undervalued women’s work to a respectable component of the economy. Through a San Francisco-based social marketing and media campaign, the partners will: educate and engage workers in addressing working conditions; strengthen domestic worker organizations through leadership development; and change the perception of domestic work.
