Vocational training and migratory regularization for dignified work for domestic workers and displaced Venezuelans in Peru (FORMALIZA PER)

Both domestic workers and Venezuelan migrants in Peru are particularly vulnerable to harmful practices under weak wage and labor protections.

At the IAF we support community-led solutions to improve labor conditions and protections for domestic workers and to create opportunities and social integration for Venezuelan migrants and refugees in Peru.

Asociación Grupo de Trabajo Redes (AGTR) works in metropolitan Lima to empower female domestic workers with the necessary knowledge and skills to improve their living standards.

AGTR also supports Venezuelan migrants to understand the legal and administrative requirements to regularize their work status and validate their professional degrees and certifications.

AGTR is also assisting domestic workers and Venezuelan migrants who were laid off due to the pandemic in claiming their legal benefits as well as providing temporary assistance in the form of food locally-sourced personal protective equipment and hygiene supplies and school supplies.
