In Uganda, these are the people who work in gardens (gardener), an individual who looks after children or works as an (indoor) maid or houseboy.

Domestic workers in Uganda are mostly young girls, despite the constitutional rights of children in the legal framework; child domestic workers still exist in Uganda. Contributing factors to child domestic work include, socio-economic, political (civil strife), HIV/AIDS-related due to the death of parents, and institutional/policy-related factors, cultural influences where children are discriminated against, and employers’ preference for young workers with fewer demands compared to older workers. 

All workers deserve to be treated fairly and respectfully at their place of work, with full labour rights and protections given to them. The law generally recognises a notice period. A domestic worker is entitled to notice in writing or a verbal notice for an illiterate worker. At least this should be explained to the domestic worker if he/she is not able to understand it in written form.
