We reiterate that our notice to MAUD secretary did not question the intention of MAUD secretary.
Rather, the MAUD secretary had addressed domestic workers as ‘domestic aid, domestic help, house help, maid’ in both the memos in spite of representing to him that he should refrain from such unprofessional and illegal terminology and address in notification as ‘domestic workers’ only.
Today National Human Rights Commission, New Delhi, registered case no. 680/36/2/2020 dated 28/5/2020 in response to our online complaint no. 6498/IN/2020 DT 22 MAY 2020: “Mr Principal Secretary, IAS, it is DOMESTIC WORKERS, NOT ‘MAIDS’ or ‘HELPS'”
Municipal Administration & Urban Development, Government of Telangana issued a memo that referred to domestic workers at para 2 as ‘domestic help including maids and house help’, at para 4 as ‘household help including maids, domestic help’, and at para 5 as ‘domestic help services including maids’.
