CARE International’s work in Mexico
CARE works in Mexico through national partners to strengthen the rights and working conditions of paid domestic workers.
Our work focuses on supporting domestic workers’ organizations, expanding access to professional training, and promoting recognition of domestic work as a valued and protected profession.
CARE’s work in Mexico is implemented in partnership with the National Center for Professional Training and Leadership of Domestic Workers (CACEH).
Our work focuses on:
Making the economy work for women
CARE supports paid domestic workers to strengthen their professional skills, improve income opportunities, and gain greater recognition for their work.
Gender equality
CARE works with domestic workers’ organizations to promote fair labor conditions, expand access to rights and protections, and challenge harmful social norms that undervalue domestic work.
Through regional initiatives such as Women, Dignity, and Work and Strengthening the Domestic Workers Movement in Latin America through Learning and Technology, CARE and our partners support domestic workers to strengthen leadership, build collective power, and advocate for improved labor rights.
CARE also supports digital tools and learning platforms that help domestic workers access training, information, and community networks across the region.
Focus on women and girls
Women are at the center of CARE’s work in Mexico.
Paid domestic work is one of the largest sources of employment for women across Latin America, yet many workers face low wages, limited protections, and unsafe working conditions.
CARE and our partners support women domestic workers to:
- Strengthen professional skills and leadership
- Access information about labor rights and protections
- Advocate for fair working conditions and recognition of domestic work
- Build networks and collective voice through domestic worker organizations
By supporting domestic workers’ leadership and rights, CARE helps promote greater economic security and dignity for women across Mexico and the wider region.
