Domestic Work is Work
We stand alongside migrant domestic workers to demand the UK Government ratifies the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Convention 189.
Kalayaan stands in solidarity alongside migrant domestic workers to fight for real, meaningful change.
Our campaigns succeed through the will of migrant domestic workers and through partnership with other organisations in our sector. For nearly 40 years Kalayaan has campaigned alongside organisations including Waling Waling, Kanlungan and Voice of Domestic Workers as well as Unite the Union and other groups who fight for migrant domestic workers to be recognised and protected under UK laws.
Our current campaigns
Fix the Exploitative Overseas Domestic Worker Visa
Thousands of migrant domestic workers are being abused, coerced, trafficked and made to work in servitude with no rest, pay, privacy or passport. It’s time for a visa that protects them and upholds their rights by enabling exploited workers to find decent work instead of being trapped with their exploiters.
Stop Revictimising Survivors of Slavery
is calling for a survivor-centred approach to tackling human trafficking and modern slavery. But the system is harmful by design.
