I think that this idea may seem good on paper, but it may not really be feasible and productive in real life. The job of a domestic helper is to help with house chores so as to lessen the burden that is on the house owners. However, if we were to give all domestic workers a day off wouldn't that defeat the purpose of hiring a domestic worker?
Even if it is for one day it would cause great inconvience for their employers. Instead, I think that that this idea should be discuss among the employer and domestic workers instead of creating a rule that gives all domestic workers one day off every week. This way, the employer would be able to coordinate in a way that the domestic workers can go off for their rest day when the employers themself are out at work. This way, they can work out a win-win situation in which both of them can achieve what they want.
Letting domestic workers out on breaks also means opening a flood gate for the domestic workers to be harmed out side. As the domestic workers are their employer's responsibility, it is no wonder why many employers do not support the idea of allowing their domestic workers out on weekly breaks.
I think that this initiative should be better planned out before putting into action.
