We are essential workers too: why migrant domestic workers’ rights matter
November 7, 2024
Fahima is part of the Future Voices programme in partnership with The Voice of Domestic Workers. Originally from a farming family in Philippines, Fahima sought work abroad to support her family but faced exploitation and abuse in Riyadh and then in the UK. With support from VODW, she escaped her employer’s mistreatment and now advocates for the rights of migrant domestic workers. Fahima’s journey shows the essential need for fair treatment and protections for workers like her, who are too often invisible yet crucial contributors to society.
