The Policy Advocacy Brief: Towards ratification of the Domestic Workers Convention in Myanmar is intended to be used by policy-makers and policy influencers who are searching for ways to improve the situation of domestic workers through ratification of the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189). It discusses the benefits and challenges of ratification and outlines the process for ratification in Myanmar.
