À propos de ce contenu audio
The International Labour Organisation's primary goal is to promote opportunities for men and women to get decent work that is safe, and secure and retains their dignity. The protection of workers against work-related sickness, disease and injury, is part of the Constitution of the ILO. At all times mistakes, accidents, oversights and injuries can happen even in the safest workplaces.
In South Africa, there is legislation to compensate workers who are affected by workplace accidents and diseases, the Compensation for Injuries and Diseases ACT (COIDA). Initially, COIDA excluded domestic workers so, they struggled against this discrimination and succeeded in 2018. Domestic workers are now covered by COIDA for accidents and diseases caused by work in their employers’ private homes. This was a major breakthrough for working-class women since the overwhelming majority of domestic workers are women.
