KARACHI: In a move to protect some of the province’s most overlooked workers, the Sindh Assembly on Monday passed the Domestic Workers Welfare Bill 2025, bringing formal safeguards to the employment and working conditions of household workers across the province. According to the bill, which requires gubernatorial assent to become law, a domestic worker is defined as a person who does domestic work in a household. The new law lays down clear terms for employment and working conditions, requiring employers to provide domestic workers with rest breaks, medical care, a minimum number of meals and regulated working hours.
