What We Do
Since 1984, We have been fighting to gain basic living and working rights for Migrant domestic workers
Our History
Waling-Waling (WW) fought and won a campaign from 1984 - 1997 gaining basic rights for Migrant Domestic Workers. We achieved this with the support of Unite the Union (T&GWU) Kalayaan, Commission for Filipino Migrant Workers (CFMW) and other organisations and individual supporters. We have reconvened in 2017 to Reclaim our Rights In April 2012, Teresa May, then Home Secretary in the coalition government, stripped migrant domestic workers of these rights. She said they would be protected' under the Modern Slavery Act. We now have workers without rights but with a promise of protection' thereby creating 'victims' of us workers, Our experience over the years since 2012 shows clearly that there is no protection for us under the Modern Slavery Act.
