Lesson Learned: Empowering Female and Youth Domestic Workers in Uganda

Accessing Domestic Workers who are live-in, rather than live-out requires a different approach, given the difficulties in undertaking door-to-door engagement. There are still many domestic workers isolated and unaware of their rights.
