The survey by the Domestic Workers Sector Skill Council (DWSSC) also stated that they are facing discrimination and stigma as employers doubt them of being carriers of the virus.

The nationwide lockdown, announced to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, has exposed the dishonorable condition of informal workers, especially in cities. The conditions of domestic workers- most of them women- have further been deplorable.

A survey by the Domestic Workers Sector Skill Council (DWSSC) says that nearly 85% of domestic workers have not been paid for the lockdown period. An eight- state random survey by the DWSSC- a non-profit organisation under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship- found that 23.5% of domestic workers have migrated back to their native place.

While, 38% of the domestic workers said that they were facing problems in arranging food. Around 30% have no money to survive the lockdown period. However, 98.5% of domestic workers are aware of the precautions that should be taken to be safe from COVID-19.
