“…The labour rights campaigns of domestic worker organisations at the national and regional levels have been the object of several scholarly studies, covering, for example, the USA (Boris and Nadasen, 2008), Italy (Andall, 2000; Sarti, 2010), Latin America (Blofield, 2012), Hong Kong (Constable, 2009) and South Africa (Ally, 2011; Fish, 2006).
