Recommendations from @thevoiceofdws
The Overseas Domestic Worker visa must be extended past 6 months with a route to settlement (like the pre-2012 visa)
Allow more Migrant Domestic Workers to challenge unfair employment practices through the courts

The team at @thevoiceofdws say this will mean that more Migrant Domestic Workers can secure long-term contracts and benefit from schemes like the government job retention scheme, and it will help to end the forms of slavery that thrive within the hostile environment.
At @thevoiceofdws they are also campaigning for the UK to ratify the ILO Convention 189 which sets out labour standards for domestic workers (whether migrants or not), including a minimum wage and clear terms of employment. https://www.thevoiceofdomesticworkers.com/
