ILO: Over 80% of world's 80 million domestic workers remain in informal employment without protections
→New International Labour Organization estimates show that 83.1 percent of the global domestic workforce, or 66.5 million people, work informally and lack effective labour and social protections, 15 years after Convention No. 189. While informality declined in most countries with data, the global rate rose slightly due to workforce concentration in high-informality regions. Domestic workers earn on average just over half the wages of other employees.
Why uncovered:Covered by ILO primary sources, Anadolu Ajansı, EFE and regional outlets; limited pickup in major English-language mainstream media.
UN rights chief alarmed by sharp rise in Iran executions since March
→UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk expressed alarm over a surge in executions and death sentences in Iran since March 2026, citing at least 56 people executed on national security charges, including 27 linked to earlier protests. He urged an immediate halt to all executions and a move toward abolishing the death penalty, highlighting concerns over fair trial violations and the use of capital punishment to suppress dissent. Drug-related executions are also continuing at a high rate, with over 100 people at risk on security charges.
Why uncovered:Covered by UN News, Reuters, BBC, Al Jazeera and specialist outlets like IranWire, with limited broader mainstream headline prominence.
