IZWI Domestic Worker Alliances' Amy Tekie, Theresea Nyoni and Tinovimbanashe Gwenyaya will discuss the findings of the report in conversation with McGill University Faculty of Law Professor of Transnational Labor and Development Adelle Blackett ([link removed]) , and former South African Labor Court judge and former United Nations Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Slavery,Urmilla Bhoola ([link removed]) .

The report focuses on the constitutional and human rights of live-in domestic workers in South Africa, describing how domestic workers' rights to privacy, freedom of movement and children’s right to parental care are frequently sacrificed for wages in a sector underpinned by racism, sexism and classism. Resulting exploitation—largely invisible because of the private spaces in which it occurs—continues regardless of constitutional protections and industry-specific labor regulations.
