My story

 

I am a survivor of modern slavery who has devoted my life to tirelessly advocating for the rights and well-being of domestic workers around the world. I currently serve as the Deputy Director of The Voice of Domestic Workers, a UK-based charity that works to empower, educate, and support migrant domestic workers, helping them reclaim their dignity and build a better future. Additionally, I am a highly active branch secretary in the Unite the Union Domestic Workers Branch, where I dedicate myself to promoting fair treatment, raising public awareness about the issues faced by domestic workers, and tirelessly striving to improve their working conditions. My resilience, unwavering determination, and commitment to justice have become a source of inspiration for many, as I continue to channel my personal experiences into a powerful and unwavering force for change within this vital community.

 

My history

 

Originally from the Philippines and a proud mother of three beautiful children, I embarked on a challenging yet rewarding journey abroad with one clear goal in mind: to create a better and brighter future for my beloved family. In 2013, I took a courageous step and moved overseas to Dubai, seeking opportunities to provide stability and security for my loved ones. The following year, in 2014, I made the life-changing decision to relocate to the UK, a country that would soon become central to my story. During my time in the UK, I was officially recognised as a survivor of trafficking, an incredibly profound and life-altering experience that has since become a defining chapter of my life. This pivotal event shaped my sense of purpose and strengthened my determination to make a difference in the lives of others. Since that moment, I have proudly emerged as a passionate public spokesperson and an unwavering advocate for change. I am deeply committed to standing at the forefront of the campaign to restore domestic workers' visa rights, tirelessly championing justice, equality, and the critical protection of vulnerable individuals who deserve dignity and respect.

From humble and modest beginnings, I have grown steadily and significantly through our unwavering dedication, a relentless pursuit of excellence, and a steadfast commitment to continuous improvement in everything I do. Each meaningful step of this journey has reinforced my unshakeable belief in the incredible power of collaboration, teamwork, and the vital importance of integrity in all aspects of life. I am truly passionate about what I do and remain deeply inspired by the impact I have made and continue to strive for. I am thrilled and excited to share my story with you, and we hope it resonates as a testament to resilience, purpose, and the shared power of collective vision.
