Twenty-five domestic workers who got certified through the Tanzania Labour College in Mbeya are running training sessions for other house workers across Mwanza. They went through a five-day program with the ILO, CHODAWU, and the government about workplace rights, safety, and basic protections.
Desdelia Simon chairs the domestic workers group in Morogoro and said the training helped people get written contracts and better treatment. Doricas Juma talked about how she used to see coworkers dealing with abuse but had no idea how to report it without losing their jobs. She wants more education for employers about treating domestic workers like actual employees. Beatrise Kuloba backed that up and said bosses need to understand that house workers deserve respect.
Yohana Anthoni leads Buganda Ward and confirmed that salary delays and violence reports have dropped since the program started. He said getting contracts sorted has been a big win for workers and employers.
