Abstract
According to report of the National Commission on Self-Employed Women and Women in the Informal Sector, of all the services in India, domestic work is the most unrecognized and disorganized, and often the most denigrating and humiliating. These workers who do the most menial arduous tasks, have impossibly long hours with no benefits of social security, security of employment, wage raises, paid leave or medical facilities etc. The reform movements and national movements such as in India did generate social consciousness among women. India is now passing through the processes of liberalization, privatization and globalization, which are going to affect social life of the country as a whole and women in particular.
