Global Domestic Workers: Intersectional Inequalities and Struggles for Rights is now out and available to download Open Access from Bristol University Press. 

Written by Sabrina Marchetti, Daniela Cherubini and Giulia Garofalo Geymonat, this comparative study draws from the EU-funded DomEQUAL research project across 9 countries in Europe, South America and Asia and explores the conditions of domestic workers around the world and the campaigns they are conducting to improve their labour rights. 

The book showcases how domestic workers’ movements put ‘intersectionality in action’ in representing the interest of various marginalized social groups from migrants and low-income groups to racialized and rural girls and women. Casting light on issues such as subjectification, and collective organizing on the part of a category of workers conventionally regarded as unorganizable, this ambitious volume will be invaluable for scholars, policy makers and activists alike. 

Silvia Federici from Hofstra University said, “This book is a major contribution to our understanding of the crucial role of domestic work in the global political economy and the transformative power of the struggle of domestic workers across the world.”
