Abstract
This chapter explores how local and national organizations of domestic workers can shape policy in and through international organizations. Drawing on fieldwork conducted during negotiations over International Labor Organization (ILO) Convention No. 189, “Decent Work for Domestic Workers,” in 2011, it explains how the ILO became a venue for the global alignment of domestic worker activists and their NGO and trade union allies, and how the organizations that emerged from that moment continued the work of putting the convention into effect on the ground through national ratification campaigns. Through this policy achievement, it also shows how domestic work helped put migration and informal work on the ILO’s agenda.
