Abstract

Although many households in Bangladesh employ domestic workers, these workers remain outside any legal regulation framework. By evaluating the country’s legal context, this article reveals that existing legal provisions for domestic work are extremely limited and insufficiently safeguard workers’ rights. A new regulation is necessary; this article details the essentials of such legislation. The proposed legislation involves a stakeholder initiative to transform the existing manipulative dependency relationship to a more equitable relationship between the domestic workers and their employers.
“这不是“帮助”,而是工作”:孟加拉国家政工作的法律监管
尽管孟加拉国的许多家庭雇佣家政工人,但这些工人仍然不在任何法律监管框架内。通过评估该国的法律背景,本文揭示了现有的家务劳动法律规定极其有限,并且没有充分保障工人的权利。一项新的法规是必要的;本文详细介绍了这类立法的要点。拟议的立法涉及一项利益相关者倡议,将现有的操纵性依赖关系转变为家庭佣工与其雇主之间更公平的关系。
