Our complete five‑part report series urging the UK Government to grant all adult survivors in the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) the right to work, with a simple policy change

Our 2024 report argues that UK government policy for the past 12 years has stripped migrant domestic workers of labour law rights, creating a “smokescreen” that excuses state inaction on abuse and exploitation.

Report published in response to the pressing need to review the numbers of, and available resources to, designated First Responder Organisations in the UK. It came after Kalayaan issued an urgent Public Announcement with our concerns on 30 January 2023.
