On March 4, 2024, the members of the Pro Bono Club surveyed to understand the working conditions of domestic workers at Sandesh Law School, and Rajshri Shahu Maharaj College of Law. The members split into two teams, and insight was gained on their employment situations, payment, methods, and awareness of government schemes. Before starting the survey, consent was taken from each worker.
KEY ISSUES:
- Consistent paid leave policies between private and government institutions
- Non-payment for overtime work
- Absence of formal employment contracts
- Limited awareness of government welfare schemes
- Lack of health insurance coverage for workers
- Neglect of menstrual hygiene needs female workers
