Indonesia's parliament has passed a groundbreaking law to protect the rights of domestic workers, marking the end of a 22-year journey advocating for their recognition. With approximately 4.2 million domestic workers, mainly women, struggling for legal acknowledgment, the legislation provides entitlements such as health insurance, mandated rest days, and pensions. Importantly, it prohibits wage deductions by placement agencies and outlaws the employment of those under 18. The law, which had been stalled since its introduction in 2004, now sets a timeline for regulators to draft implementation policies within a year. Workers have expressed overwhelming emotion and relief, viewing this legislation as a long-awaited victory in their fight for rights and dignity in an unprotected job sector. Advocates point out, however, that the journey isn't complete, advocating for public education about employer responsibilities and further support to prevent violence against domestic workers.}
