Resumen
El trabajo doméstico, una actividad fundamental para el funcionamiento de los hogares y la sociedad en su conjunto, ha sido relegado a la invisibilidad y la precarización. En Colombia, a pesar de los avances legales y jurisprudenciales, las trabajadoras y los trabajadores del servicio doméstico aún se enfrentan a una serie de desafíos que vulneran sus derechos y su dignidad, es por esto que lo principal es buscar la forma de que esta actividad sea formalizada y darle el reconocimiento, ya que como se manifiesta esta actividad es un pilar fundamental en un alto porcentaje de hogares en nuestro país. Las mujeres son las principales protagonistas del trabajo doméstico, a pesar de existir hombre que también se dedican a esta actividad, las mujeres representan el 94% de las personas que se dedican a esta labor en Colombia. Su trabajo, a menudo infravalorado y desestimado, es esencial para el bienestar de las familias y la economía del país. Sin embargo, este sector se caracteriza por la informalidad, la falta de acceso a la seguridad social, la discriminación y la invisibilización. La Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) ha impulsado la promoción del trabajo decente para las trabajadoras del servicio doméstico. El Convenio 189 de 2011, ratificado por Colombia en 2012, establece una serie de garantías para este fin, incluyendo, libertad de asociación, negociación colectiva, protección contra el abuso y la violencia, también busca que se le reconozca un salario mínimo, una jornada laboral máxima, derecho a la seguridad social, derecho a descanso y vacaciones.
Domestic work, a fundamental activity for the functioning of households and society as a whole, has been relegated to invisibility and precariousness. In Colombia, despite legal and jurisprudential advances, domestic service workers still face a series of challenges that violate their rights and dignity, which is why the main thing is to find a way to formalize this activity and give it recognition, since this activity is a fundamental pillar in a high percentage of households in our country. Women are the main protagonists of domestic work, even though there are men who are also engaged in this activity, women represent 94% of the people engaged in this work in Colombia. Their work, often undervalued and underestimated, is essential for the well-being of families and the country's economy. However, this sector is characterized by informality, lack of access to social security, discrimination and invisibility. The International Labor Organization (ILO) has promoted decent work for domestic service workers. Convention 189 of 2011, ratified by Colombia in 2012, establishes a series of guarantees to this end, including, freedom of association, collective bargaining, protection against abuse and violence, it also seeks recognition of a minimum wage, a maximum working day, the right to social security, the right to rest and vacation.
