LESSON
Lesson Learned: Empowering Female and Youth Domestic Workers in Uganda
Employers are more likely to introduce contracts and treat Domestic Worker staff better when they feel they are part of the discussions, not when they feel the decision is being forced on them. Getting Domestic Workers and employers on the same page, though not always easy, is key.
