Precy: I want to start my story with a demand. Fix the Overseas Domestic Worker visa. Workers like me should be allowed to renew our visa. It’s impossible to find the courage to escape an abusive employer and find a new one in less than 6 months.

Patience: We are mothers who take care of other people’s children and homes, while we leave ours behind. We need to bond with our own children and our family.

Analisa: I hope you understand that domestic workers are human beings. The UK Government must ratify ILO Convention 189 and recognise domestic work as decent work. We are not robots. We are not slaves.

Dolores: I want people to understand. Domestic workers are not disposable. We are mothers, women, survivors. We deserve systems that protect us, not trap us.
