Workers win in Timor-Leste!

Working Women's Centre Australia

Domestic workers in Timor-Leste have launched their first union — the result of years of organising by the Working Women’s Centre Timor- Leste, focused on improving conditions for domestic workers who have long been excluded from formal labour protections.

Congratulations to the Domestic workers of Timor-Leste on this incredible milestone, and to Abelita Sousa Li Soares, board member of the Working Women’s Centre Timor-Leste, who is the newly elected President.

Together with Union Aid Abroad – APHEDA, we look forward to continuing to work in solidarity with international trade unions and strengthening the power of global collectivism.

For support with work-related concerns, please reach out to the Working Women's Centre in your state or territory.

We acknowledge the Kaurna people as the traditional and continuing custodians of the land on which we work, along with the First Peoples language groups and communities across Australia. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. First Nations sovereignty has never been ceded; this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

When we say women, we are inclusive of all women — including trans women, as well as non-binary and gender non-conforming people who face gendered disadvantage. We recognise that gender inequality is shaped by intersecting systems of power, and we take an intersectional approach to all of our work.

We are committed to building a fairer, safer and more equal working life for all women and— across race, class, disability, sexuality, migration status, age and geography.
