To commemorate the anti-slavery week, we are inviting you to a roundtable discussion hosted by Jess Phillips MP, to discuss what must be done to end modern slavery of migrant domestic workers.

Domestic workers can face systematic labour exploitation and a heightened risk of human trafficking. Service providers report the scales of abuse experienced. A survey conducted in 2019 by the Voice of Domestic Workers found that:

77% of migrant domestic workers experienced physical, verbal or sexual abuse​

51% reported that they were not given enough food

61% were not given their own space

Seven years after the Modern Slavery Act, please join this panel on tackling the exploitation and abuse of domestic workers, and the protection of labour rights, including a discussion of the restrictions imposed on holders of the Overseas Domestic Workers' visa, which have removed the right to visa renewal.
