Until today, seven EU Member States have ratified the Convention. The issue of improving domestic and care workers’ rights remains more than ever a topical issue.

The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted both the essential contributions of those workers to our societies and the precarious working and living conditions a vast majority of them still face.

The 10th Anniversary marks an important milestone to take stock of the progress made and the challenges ahead. The online event  will outline practices and policies to enhance the situation of personal and household services workers.

When and where

Due to restrictions to public events, the event will be held online and would consist of a two-day conference to be held on 28-29 June 2021. 

Live interpretation will be available in English, French, Italian, German, Polish, Romanian and Spanish.
