I'm Elizabeth Tang. I'm from Hong Kong, and I'm the general secretary of the International Domestic Workers Federation, the global federation of all the domestic workers in the world. We organise domestic workers everywhere, even in countries where it is very difficult for domestic workers to do that.
We also train domestic workers to become leaders, and we now see a young generation speaking up and taking domestic workers to meet governments, to meet employers, to negotiate for their rights. For example, in March 2017 three domestic workers' leaders went with me to the United Nations to talk to government ministers about the need for laws that give social protections to domestic workers.
Some of the refugees coming to Europe today will also work as domestic workers, because that will be the only job possible for them. We have to make sure that they will be protected.
