Calls to give Senegal domestic workers legal protection
In Senegal it is believed 40% of the country's informal economy is made up of jobs done by women.
Many of them work as domestic helps - a job that in most cases requires little formal education.
Being a maid however can also mean not having much legal protection. There are increasing calls for the government to regulate the sector.
