Domestic Slavery

Sexual harassment, beatings, broken contracts, and even death threats - these are some of the allegations of ill-treatment being made by domestic servants working in Britain for wealthy visitors. Driven to work abroad to escape poverty in the Third World, many of these women find themselves treated as slaves once they arrive here. Kalaya'an is a campaign organisation trying to change the law to give these women the legal protection shared by other workers in Britain.
