It’s #AntiSlaveryDay24 so we thought we’d send out reminders of the myths fuelling migrant domestic worker exploitation in the UK. (Spoiler: the following is included in our report #12YearsOfModernSlavery which is available on our website). Prefer a short overview? Read on…
I’d rather live next door to someone who crossed the oceans with a child to escape death and violence than a citizen who wouldn’t cross the street to help a foreigner.
Today is the 40th anniversary of @lawrsuk, the organisation I have been with for over 7 years. I am so proud of everyone who has been a part of this 40-year journey. This sector is tough, but working with such wonderful women makes it all worth it.⭐️✊❤️

Every person I've ever met who has come to the UK wants to contribute, work and take care of their family. So why can't we let them? Why leave them to fester in a hotel with the far right screaming abuse at them? Give them legal status and get them going.

"They are responsible for your poverty."
"We refuse to be poor. We are going to win for our people on our terms."
Mick Lynch's powerful speech in front of thousands of striking workers this afternoon.

No witty political comments here, I just wish her a very long and unhappy life.
"It's not racist for anyone, ethnic minority or otherwise, to want to control our borders," says Home Secretary Suella Braverman, "it's not bigoted to say that we have too many asylum seekers who are abusing the system"

Undocumented people are at the sharp end of utterly difficult living conditions owing to the hostile environment policy. Can you imagine the fear of searching for help with a charity & finding this inhumane and criminalising language?
Hey @CitizensAdvice, no human is illegal!
Hearing a lot about what we need to do to make women feel safe and confident in the streets, etc. Is no one wondering what we need to do to make men stop abusing and murdering women?
✨As a small 'by & for' organisation, we face challenges of all kinds. But today marks our 38th anniversary, and we celebrate with joy that we are here & we resist to uphold the rights of migrant women in the UK. Thank you for being part of our journey. https://t.co/TkhtDYkpTZ
