<![CDATA[ABSTRACT: A domestic Worker (PRT) is anyone who works within the scope of the household either male or female,young or old,even a child. Actually, they have given a huge
contribution to their family in Indonesia, and donated incomefor the country. But on top of legal documents, they are not recognized by the Labor Law as an appropriate form of formal
employment that deserve to be given protection by the existinglaws and regulations. In the Islamic perspective, women and men are required to work in accordance with the potential and
capacity in order to obtain a decent living or to meet family needs. Al Quran does not mention a specific job for a certain gender. Women and men can work inside or outside the home. Working as a domestic worker is not lower than otherprofessions as long as conducted by and for the good purpose.
