Answer

How can Mallorca better protect people working in private households?

Better protection depends on clearer registration of domestic work, more accessible help lines, and stronger coordination between social services, labor inspectors, and police. Regular check-ins and simple contracts can make hidden abuse harder to sustain. In Mallorca, outreach in neighborhoods and public spaces can also help people notice and report suspicious situations sooner.
