Future Voices Revolution

Migrant domestic workers are one of the most vulnerable groups of workers. The removal of our rights under the Overseas Domestic Worker visa in 2012 has left us unprotected, powerless and in severely exploitative work conditions. Given the current context, it has never been more important to hear directly from migrant domestic workers in our own words and in our own ways. It is migrant domestic workers that can offer the solutions for the change that is needed. We are the leaders – our voices just need to be heard.

Future Voices Revolution is a new programme run and led in-house by The Voice of Domestic Workers, developing on the successes of the three year Future Voices programme in partnership with Sounddelivery Media. As the alumni of the original programme, we are building a network of empowered public spokespeople ready to advocate for migrant domestic workers’ rights confidently and powerfully. This new six month programme will run from June 2025 until January 2026, during which we will be taking our learnings from the original programme even further. Our network will become embedded, active leaders within The Voice of Domestic Workers, campaign for the change we want to see, and continue the fight for migrant domestic workers’ rights.

Voices That Inspire: Meet Our Alumni

Alzua

"At the core of my story is my voice — a voice that longs not just to be heard, but truly listened to. I speak not for noise, but for change. I share my truth so that domestic workers are no longer invisible — so we are seen, respected, and given the rights we deserve as workers and as human beings."

Arlene

"I am stepping into a new version of myself—one that is committed, eager to grow, and ready to keep learning. I truly hope to stand at the forefront of the campaigns for the Voice of Domestic Workers and become a confident, fearless voice for our community."

Christine Joy

"I want to be a voice for my fellow migrant domestic workers who are still fearful and lack the courage to share their stories and experiences of abuse. I hope to give strength to those silenced and help them find the bravery to speak out."

Cristina

"As a leader in my community, I want to be a shining example for other migrant domestic workers—showing them how vital it is to know their self-worth and stand up for their rights. Commitment isn’t just a choice; it’s a powerful decision to claim the respect and dignity we all deserve."

Dannah

"I want to grow in knowledge and confidence, to speak my truth without fear. My dream is to turn struggle into strength, and become a light for others — a voice for those still unheard. Because when one of us rises, we all rise."

Fawzia

I want to be part of the movement that secures fair and meaningful legal rights for migrant domestic workers — rights that truly protect and uplift us. I hope to inspire others like me, so together, we can rise, speak as one, and become a powerful force for change. Our voices matter, and united, we can create the impact we’ve long been waiting for.

Florence

My life matters — not despite my colour and race, but because of it. I want to use my voice to shine a light on racism, to speak the truths that are too often ignored. I hope to build bridges of understanding, to plant seeds of compassion, and to stand against the injustices that Black people continue to face. Through awareness, unity, and love, I believe we can create a world where every life is valued equally — and every voice is heard.

Grace

I am a woman who carries a voice—one that refuses to be silenced. I want to raise my voice not for myself alone, but so that those who have no voice, who live in silence and fear, can finally be heard. Together, our words can break the chains of invisibility and bring hope to the unheard.

Marigold

I am a woman with a voice — a voice that carries the strength of my experiences and the dreams of those who cannot speak for themselves. I am determined to raise my voice high and clear, so that those who live in silence, those without a voice, can finally be heard, seen, and valued. Together, our voices become a powerful call for justice and change.

Mary Queen

I seek empowerment to rise stronger, skills to stand taller, and confidence to speak boldly. Through this journey, I aspire to become a proud spokesperson for domestic workers — a voice that champions our rights and honors our dignity.

Mercy

I want to raise my voice not just for myself, but for all domestic workers to live and work with dignity and respect. When we stand together, we are stronger — and together, we can break barriers, fight injustice, and create lasting change for generations to come.

Mimi

I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. I want to challenge a system that devalues us and be a force that restores the rights of domestic workers — not as victims, but as proud workers deserving of justice, freedom, and dignity.

Ritchel

I want to turn my struggles into strength and my voice into a light — to inspire and speak up for my fellow migrant workers who feel unheard. By sharing my story, I hope they’ll see that they are not alone, and that their voices matter too.

Rose Ann

I want to overcome my fear and find the courage to speak out. By sharing my truth and my journey, I hope to inspire others and become a voice for change.

Vangie

“Through Future Voices Revolution, I want to grow — to deepen my knowledge of domestic workers’ rights in the UK and discover the strength within me. I believe that with learning comes confidence, and with confidence, I can become the voice that helps others rise too.”
