                    [Title] => Congress urged to pass magna carta for domestic workers
                    [Summary] => Domestic workers yesterday renewed their call on Congress to pass the law that seeks to protect them from abuses and unsuitable working conditions.


In a statement, Visayan Forum Foundation president Ma. Cecilia Flores-Oebanda said the rights and welfare of household helpers should be promoted and fought for because they work for a living like everyone else.

The group noted the magna carta for domestic workers, or the Batas Kasambahay, is relevant and necessary for the protection of household helpers.
