National Domestic Workers’ Movement (NDWM) is a right based people’s movement. It was registered as National Domestic Workers’ Welfare Trust under the Bombay Public Trust Act 1950. It took shape over the last 30 years breaking the bondage of slavery and empowering domestic workers in India. NDWM also campaigns for the protection and the rights of child domestic workers with constant rescue, rehabilitation and reintegration operations. NDWM is concerned about women, young girls and children leaving their villages of poverty and reaching cities only to be subjected to bonded labours behind closed doors. Our efforts in 16 states are creating the spirit to come out and fight for their rights. The movement had its origins in early eighties in Chennai. Dr. (Sr.) Jeanne the founder, focused on groups of domestic workers trying to give them a voice and listen and respond to the experiences of indignity, abuse and exploitation at the hands of their employers. In 1985, Sr. Jeanne started multiple groups in Mumbai and Chennai to organise domestic workers and child domestic workers culminating in the formation of National Domestic Workers’ Movement, which has spread over 16 States.
