SENEGAL -

Under the auspices of the trade unions of domestic workers, a conference on the strategy to be adopted for the ratification of Convention C189 was held on Saturday 20 May 2017 at the Douta SECK Cultural House.

The conference was attended by several political, customary, municipal and religious personalities. There was also the effective presence of other comrades general secretaries of trade unions affiliated to the IUF and civil society organizations.

A hundred people made the trip to answer the call of the domestic workers. The conference was held at the Douta SECK Cultural House.


 
The conference was chaired by Mr. Mamadou DIOUF Deputy Secretary General of the National Confederation of Workers of Senegal and member of the national coordination of the IUF section Senegal.

He began his speech with thanks to the IUF for sparing no effort to defend the physical and moral interests of workers around the world.

He recalled the important struggle of the IUF for the adoption of Convention C189. It is continuing to fight for the ratification of the convention in our countries. That justifies our presence in this place marked by a massive presence of domestic workers. This indicates the particular interest aroused in this segment of the population which is often left behind.

In our countries, it will take a fierce battle to get our leaders not only to ratify but above all to implement the conventions.

Mr DIOUF reminded the audience that we are not alone in the fight and insisted that the crowd cheered the presence of the president of the Network of Domestic Workers in Africa, Comrade Asmaou BA DOUKOURE came expressly from Guinea to support Our action.

He ended his speech with the hope that Senegal would be the fourth African country to ratify Convention C189.
