Domestic servitude

Domestic workers may live with their employers to cook, clean and care for children, often for little pay. It can be difficult to identify because employees live with their enslavers and appear to be a nanny or another form of acceptable domestic help. This situation becomes exploitative when the individual cannot leave of their own free will. Find information and resources to support these local victims of modern slavery.
