Fiona Mactaggart MP elected Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Trafficking

Our warmest congratulations to Fiona Mactaggart, who has a long and firm commitment to protecting the rights of migrant domestic workers in the UK. Her report Service not Servitude argues strongly in favor of mantaining rights and protections for this particularly vulnerable group of workers and we were proud to have her sponsor a joint Kalayaan, J4DW and Unite event in March 2013 ‘Slavery by another name‘, which looked at the effects of the tied migrant domestic worker (or ODW) visa once year on.

We look forward to continuing to work closely with Fiona Mactaggart to ensure that protections for migrant domestic workers in the UK are reinstated.
