The Voice of Domestic Workers
The Voice of Domestic Workers (VODW) is an education and campaigning group calling for justice and rights for Britain's sixteen thousand foreign domestic workers. VODW provides educational and community activities for domestic workers - including English language lessons, drama and art classes, and employment advice, and provides immediate support for domestic workers fleeing from abusive employers.
​
Our work seeks to end discrimination and protect migrant domestic workers living in the UK by providing or assisting in the provision of education, training, healthcare and legal advice.
Voiceless: Documentary film uncovering hidden injustice within the UK
Producer: Nuanza Cinta Adita; Director: Katie Latter; Editor: Gigi Ching Chui Chi; Sound: Catherine Tan; Cinematographer: Afzal Ahmed © 2014 Goldsmiths, University of London.
Voiceless seeks to discover the effects of the new tied overseas domestic workers visa that was introduced by the UK government in April 2012. It follows a group called Justice for Domestic Workers and through them explores the issue of modern-day slavery and the knock-on effects of the policies implemented. Voiceless gives a voice to these vulnerable migrant domestic workers who leave their homes behind for a better future for their families.
How have visa changes shaped the lives of overseas domestic workers?
Was this visa change justified?
How have these workers made their voices heard?
