TRINIDAD & TOBAGO -

Last November the Corporate Communications Unit of the Ministry of Labour and Small and Enterprise Development launched a Domestic Workers Campaign in the form of radio advertisements which ran the course of the Christmas period in 2016.

This campaign was developed to start the conversation on the importance of Domestic Workers to our society and called for citizens to “Respect, Cherish and Appreciation them.”  

To continue the conversation, the Ministry of Labour - Corporate Communications Unit produced four video testimonial featuring domestic workers and domestic work.

They have also produced Posters which depict the role of Domestic Workers as important and urge the public to Respect, Cherish and Appreciate them:

Domestic Work is work performed in or for a household(s) and may include cleaning, cooking, washing and ironing, taking care of children, elderly or sick members of a family as well as household pets, gardening, guarding the house and driving for the family. Domestic Employees play a major role in many families across Trinidad and Tobago.


They deserve to be Respected. Cherished and Appreciated!
