The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs adopted the report by Inês Cristina ZUBER (GUE/NGL, PT) on the draft Council decision authorising Member States to ratify, in the interests of the European Union, the Convention concerning decent work for domestic workers, 2011, of the International Labour Organisation (Convention No 189).
Members recommended the European Parliament to give its consent to the conclusion of the Agreement for the purpose of improving the protection of women and migrants who find themselves in extremely vulnerable situations, becoming victims of discrimination and many forms of abuse involving severe violations of their human rights.
