Domestic workers as a group were largely invisible and undervalued before the Covid-19 pandemic; however, the pandemic highlighted their vulnerability and made their work even more unreliable and precarious. Assessment of COVID-19’s Impact on Women Employed as Domestic Workers in Georgia presents in-depth qualitative study findings on the impact of the pandemic on the lives of women domestic workers, highlights their challenges and needs and provides evidence-based recommendations to policymakers and practitioners.
