Supporting migrants employed in domestic and care work
THE PROJECT
The Api-Colf Migrantes Foundation Project for Safety in Domestic Work aims to reaffirm the fundamental rights of male and female workers, in order to improve their quality of life and awareness, to spread practices that minimize the risk of accidents, and to attract the interest of public opinion and of institutional decision-makers.
The widest distribution of the message will be ensured through the promotion of courses and events, sending newsletters to the databases of the promoting entities, online channels and press office activities.

PROMOTERS
Safety in Domestic and care work
An Api-Colf project, supported by the Migrantes Foundation and the 8xmille of the Catholic Church.
The Api-Colf Association, established in 1971, is a Christian Social Movement for Domestic Workers that promotes the professionalization of personal service work. It aims to develop values such as humanity, skill enhancement, and responsibility, all inspired by freedom and dignity.
The Migrantes Foundation, established in 1987, is a pastoral body of the Italian Episcopal Conference dedicated to supporting immigrants, migrants, and refugees. Its mission is to foster a culture of hospitality within Christian communities, promoting the value and the appreciation of diverse identities to enhance peaceful coexistence.
The 8xmille funds to the Catholic Church enable the implementation of thousands of projects both in Italy and globally each year. These initiatives aim to support the most vulnerable and those facing difficulties. The funds are allocated towards meeting the worship needs of the population, providing for the clergy’s sustenance, and conducting charitable activities that benefit both the national community and Third World countries.”
