Foreign maids fearful after visit by UK law enforcement
Recently, law enforcement visited a support group for exploited domestic workers in the UK and demanded information regarding one of the group’s members. The Voice of Domestic Workers, an entity that provides support to domestic workers who have faced abuse at the hands of their employers, is concerned that this visit may deter workers from seeking help in the future. Foreign domestic worker abuse in the UK is an issue that is difficult to address because victims typically do not come forward to report abuse, and are fearful of police involvement.
