Kalayaan.. jusrice for migrant dornestic workers. Financi8lyearending31' March 2025 CHAIR'S REPORT This has been another successful year for Kalayaan. We have continued to provide crucial protections and advice to migrant domestic workers in the UK who still do not enjoy the rights Outlined in the ILO Convention 189 on Domestic Workers120111. The ILO Convention contains a range of essenti81 workers, rights, recognising the unique challenges faced by isolated workers in the Sector but it remains unratified by the United Kingdom. Migrant domestic workers are 3150 still excluded from the rights that other workers have because of the restrictions of the UK Overseas Domestic Worker visa which ties workers to employers in setlings where exploitation goes unseen. Under the restrictive terms of the visa, it is practically impossible for exploited workers to obtain alternative. decent employment. Without legal protection of their rights, many domestic workers will not come forward to the authorities when they experience exploitation and abuse. Only through the legal advice and support Kalayaan offers can domestic workers escape the physical and psychological abuse, withholding of wages, passport, food, privacy and rest that are, unfortunately, still common features of life as a migrant domestic worker in the UK. Kalayaan continued to offer specialist legal advice to protect domestic workers, rights and to enable exploited workers and victims of slavery and trafficking to lind safety and decent work. As well as delivering legal advice and referring survivors of trafficking and slavery into the National Referral Mechanism, we also campaigned and advocated for the changes to legislation that would make it harder for employers to exploit domestic workers. Kalayaan continued to campaign for wider policy change and to organise community events for domestic workers offering information sharing, social support and advocacy training through our Community Engagement Programme. Our work is more important than ever. Our Treasurers and CEO managed a proce55 of reducing our reserves during the linancial year 2024-5 and invested in extending our successful Community Engagement Programme in the knowledge that we had secured significant grant funding starting in the next financial year. Staff team The outstanding work delivered by Kalayaan in 2024-5 would not have been possible without our skilled and experienced staff team: Marta Bratek, Rita Gava (who stepped down as CEO in December 2024 and continued providing part-time support on fundraising until June 20251, Dipa Haria, Rebecca Hirst, Andrea Kyselakova, Sophie Levack, Alex Millbrook and Avril Sharp. We would like to thank Rita Gava for her long, dedicated service. We were fortunate to appoint an excellent new CEO, Hannah Billington, who started her role at Kalayaan in March, a5 the linancial year was ending. The work of our Interim CEO, Bethany Brady, who worked for Kalayaan between December 2024 and February 2025, was also crucial to the health of the organisation during the transition period and we are indebted to her. Moreover, we said goodbye to Rebecca Hirst in December 2024 after her excellent work building our Community Engagement Programme and welcomed Arundhati Chaudhuri who is leading the Community Engagement Programme through its next stage of growth. We are deeply grateful to all the exceptional volunteers who made Kalayaan's work possible during the 2024-5 linancial year by supporting our caseworkers, our community engagement events and our English classes, especially Tiffany Bucknall, Ericka Regalado and Devyani Nighoskar. We are also thankful to Dominic Clarke, our freelance English teacher, for continuing to deliver weekend lessons for our service users. Registered Charity 1146596. Reglsiered company 07968872

Kalayaan'.justice for migrant domestic workers. Fin8ncialyear ending 31. March 2025 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Legal Advice The legally qualilied caseworker5 on Kalayaan's legal team gave our clients vital legal advice throughout the financial year, spending many hours taking witness Statements, gathering evidence and working with Home Office bodies to ensure access to statutory support and protection of their riEhts. Our caseworkers enabled clients to regularise their status, giving a degree of financial stability and safety through access to decent alternative employment, safe housing, healthcare and the option to be recognised as a survivor of traflicking and modern slavery via a referral into the Home Office's National Referral Mechanism INRMI. Kalayaan's legal team continued to deliver success in achieving Conclusive Grounds decisions for the clients we referred into the NRM, transforming their level of security and opening a chance of recovery following the trauma of exploitation and Servitude. Kalayaan worked with and signposted some 200 exploited migrant workers during the year and our legal team registered 65 new clients a5 well as working with a high volume of existing and longstanding clients whose cases were often complex. We advised 63 clients on immigration issues including spousal visa. asylum, discretionary leave, applications for dependants, and made 45 referrals to employment lawyers where representation was needed. Kalayaan's advice and information sharing enabled 43 clients to access healthcare as well as other vital statutory services. We achieved 33 Conclusive Grounds decisions for clients who had been referred into the NRM and 14 of our clients were helped with support for urgent survival needs such as emergency accommodation after escaping from exploitative employers. High quality legal advice from our lawyers, given with the benefit of longstanding expertise on the Overseas Domestic Worker visa, unlocked security and a path to recovery for scores of Kalayaan's clients thi5 year, allowing them to escape exploitation, abuse and destitution. Policy and Advocacy 2024-5 was a busy and successful year for Kalayaan's policy and advocacy work. Six significant reports were published, using our insights into the history and current injustices affecting domestic workers, to make the case for systemic reforms. The reports attracted political interest which led ultimately to two amendments being tabled to legislation (later in 20251. We attracted political signatories to our public letters, gained media cut through and presented our arguments directly to a greater number of Ministers, MPS and peers than in previous years. The election of a new Labour government on July 4 created an opportunity to reach newly elected politicians who had advocated for migrant rights and workers, rights while in opposition. In June 2024, Kalayaan published '12 Years of Modern Slavery.. the smokescreen used to deflect state accountability for migrant domestic workers., The report called for the reinstatement of an Overseas Domestic Worker visa allowing realisable routes out of exploitation. The report debunked arguments against reforming the visa and set out the evidence about why reinstatement of the previous visa structure would reduce exploitation. The report was launched alongside an interview on the Free Movement Podcast, and arkncles in 'The Lady, and on Freedom United's website. Kalayaan published a joint statement on the First Responder capacity crisis in August. Signed by SIX Other non-statutory First Responders to the National Referral Mechanism INRMI, the statement highlighted the Reglstered Charity 1146596. Reglstered comparby 07968872

Financialyear ending31' Mareh 2025 urgent requirement for more non-statutory First Responders to meet the growing need among survivors of traffi'cking and modern slavery for referrals. The statement was a rare moment of unilied public outcry, coordinated by Kalayaan. After a response from the Minister for SafeguardinE in September the Home Ofh'ce's Modern Slavery Unit launched a new NRM referr81 form following Kalayaan's recommendations lin April 20251. On the 23rd of October, Kalèyaan launched a further series of reports calling for the right to work in the NRM,. 'Ready, Willing & Able: The cost of not allowing survivors in the NRM to work,. The launch took place at a Parliamentary meeting in Portcullis House, where Kalayaan spoke directly to MPS and Peers about the urgent need to give survivors of traflicking and servitude the dignity of the right to work while in the NRM. Lord Randall of Uxbridge and Chris Murray MP took a particular interest in the campaign. The launch of the report series was heralded on Refugee Action's 'Experts by Experience, podcast, giving Kalayaan clients and staff members the opportunity to advocate for this urgently needed reform. Reports in the series. published between October 2024 and January 2025, included.. Report I.. 'Granting the right to work for all in the NRM, set out the current 51tuation and the estimated number of survivors in the NRM without the right to work. Report 2: 'The Economic Benelits, showed how the UK could be collecting £36 million per year in income tax and National Insurance contributions by allowing all survivors to work. Report 3.. 'Enabling Recovery, demonstrated the evidence that being able to work and contribute to society enables recovery from physical and mental health issues. Report 4.. 'Preventing Re-exploitation, explained that not being allowed to work doesn't mean that survivors do not work. Instead, it showed that this ban increases the risk of survivors being re- exploited. Report 5. The Solution, set out how the Government can easily change policy to allow survivors in the NRM to work while they wait for a decision. In December 2024, Kalayaan also prepared a submission to inform the Government'5 Labour Market Enforcement Strategy 2025 to 2026. Our submissions to the Low Pay Commission had been instrumental in winning the right to the minimum wage for domestic workers in March 2024. In February 2025, Kalayaan secured the Signatures of 11 members of the House of Lords in a letter addressed to the Home Secretary asking for the right to work to be granted to all survivors in the NRM. And in March, the Minister for Safeguarding replied on behalf of the Home Office. Kalayaan's response to the reply gained further support from Peers for Kalayaan's arguments. Subsequently, and after the period of this linancial year. our reports and our arguments and brielinEs led to two amendments being tabled. These two amendments, if passed in the autumn of 2026, will have a significant impact on the protection of migrant domestic workers, rights. Kalayaan secured media coverage of our campaigns and the issues faced by migrant domestic workers during the financial year, including an arhcle in The Big Issue in June 2024, covering the effect of the hostile environment on migrant domestic workers. In November 2024, The Independent reported on the increased number of reports of modern slavery and the effect on the cap8Clty of non-statutory First Responder Organisation5, and in February 2025 Reuters interviewed a client of Kalayaan about the effect of the Nationality and Borders Act 2023 on survivors of trafficking and slavery in the NRM.

Narch 2025 Kalayaan a150 campai8ned alongside several high-impact coalition groups including the Anti-Trafficking Monitoring Group IATMGI, a coalition of leading UK-ba5ed anti-trafficking organizations, who monitor the British Government's implementation of conventions and makes recommendations. We collaborated with ATMG to highlight the number of survivors of trafficking and modern slavery who would meet the criteria for referral into the National Referral Mechanism but lack access to a First Responder to make the referral. Kalayaan and ATMG published a brieling on the non-statutory First Responder capacity crisis, which contained primary survey data from Kalayaan, and was published in parallel with the joint statement by non- statutory First Responders to lend evidence to the Statement. Kalayaan also contributed to five joint submissions. In May we submitted evidence to the House of Lords Committee on the Modern Slavery Act 2015 in collaboration with the Voice of Domestic Workers. In January we made a joint civil society submission to the ICESCR with Hope for Justice and After Exploitation. In March we participated in a joint submission to the UN'S Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children. on migrant domestic workers and trafficking in person, in collaboration with Anti-slavery International, VODW, FLEX and ATMG. This submission led Kalayaan to speak at the launch of the Special Rapporteur's report in June 2025. We continued to raise awareness of the abuses faced by migrant domestic workers and the changes that are needed to policy and practice by working alongside our clients to convene events, peaceful gatherings outside parliament and social media to raise awareness. Community Engagement Programme Following a review of strategy in 2023, Kalayaan significantly increased delivery of community engagement in 2024-5. This programme has been invaluable in en8a8ing more migrant domestic workers in advocating for and campaigning for their rights and has enabled our strategy, services and campaigns to be driven by and delivered with workers Wlth first-hand experience of exploitation. The community group have brought their strength, resilience and positivity to Kalayaan's campaign and policy work during the financial year. The first year of the Community Engagement Project was funded by a generous grant from Chanel and has created a solid foundation for further development. A Campaigning Group was formed which met twice- monthly from March-july and AuEust-October to work on campaigns for change. The campaign group produced and puljlished We, Domestic Workers,, a Zine which was published online and in a print run, powerfully outlining their testimony and experience5 and the current wishes and hopes of migrant domestic workers for change. The second project focused on enBaEing MPS through letter writing and ultimately led to 3 members of the group appearing as panellists in a takeover episode of Refugee Action's Experts by Experience podcast. The two projects culminated in a showcase event at the Abbey Centre which celebrated the work of the Group throughout the year with an interactive exhibition and presentations from members of the Campaign Group. In addition, 9 members of the Campaigning Group had the opportunity to receive broadcast media training from NEON, with 7 of the cohort going on to experience public speaking and media opportunities later in the year, including via podcastingi presenting at the showcase and teaching professionals at a tri-borough Anti-slavery Day event attended by professionals. Three members of the Campaign Group also had the opportunity to speak directly with MPS about their work and Kalayaan's campaigns, including at a meeting with local MP for Kensington & Chelsea and a drop-in event in Parliament.

Finan¢ialyear ending 31, March 2025 Five members of the Campaign Group directly contributed to Kalayaan's latest policy report series, 'ReadyJ Willing and Able,. As well as this, 4 members of the Group went to Birmingham to represent Kalayaan at Unite's Equalities Conference. The Community Engagement Project delivered 6 information workshops to Kalayaan service users throughout the year, 5 of which were simultaneously interpreted in Tagalog, Bahasa Indonesia and Hindi. They included an Access to Healthcare, workshop with Doctors of the World,. a 'Self- Advocacy, workshop in collaboration with Refugee Action,. a 'Maternity Rights, webinar with Maternity Action and Saltworks Law,. webinars with ITnmigration Lawyers on how to apply for an e-visa with our in- house lawyers and an 'lntroduction to Trade Unions, with Unite. For two of these workshops translated resources were commissioned by Kalayaan. The Community Engagement Programme also delivered several community building events including a coffee morning exhibition to mark 12 years since the CLJrrent Overseas Domestic Worker visa regime was instated and to raise awareness of Kalayaan's campaign for a better visa; a banner-making workshop and picnic with the Voice of Domestic Workers on International Domestic Workers, Day,. the Campaigning Group Showcase Event,. and a Christmas Party. A5 a result of the Community Engagement Programme, a team of volunteer5 was built with 11 new volunteers being recruited and inducted in 2024 to increase the organisation's capacity. Further work was done to support service users including e-visa support clinics, foodbank and databank support and information sharing on the Rwanda Bill and keeping safe from anti- migrant threats. Three service user newsletters were also published throughout the year. Kalayaan delivered an average of 3 sessions per month for our community of migrant workers, massively increasing the provision of Kalayaan's services and en8aginE 127 service users. Our annual feedback survey found that 94.4Yo of attendees 'agreed' or 'strongly agreed, that attending the Community Engagement and Campaign Group events helped them to make new friends or social connections and 100% 'agreed' or 'Strongly agreed, that being part of the programmes helped parkncipants feel they were part of a community of migrant domestic workers. We are proud of this new programme which successfully reduced the sense of isolation that prevents many migrant domestic workers realising their rights and escaping exploitation. Reserves Leve15 of reserves were towards the upper limit of our target for reserves at the end of the financial year at three months of operating costs. With significant grants agreed from new funders, the Management Committee and CEO utilised a portion of these reserves, in the year to March 31st 2025, to invest in the growth of the Community Engagement Programme to meet the growing demand for services.

Risk Management The Management Committee has considered the main risks to the future of the organisation and identifies these as follows: Cyber security risks following attacks on sector partners. Reputational and safety risks from campaigning and giving advice in sensitive and complex areas of immigration, including of undocumented workers in an increasingly hostile environment. Effect of short-term visa on opportunities for, and willingness of, migrant domestic workers to engage with organisations such as Kalayaan, with resultant risks for research and campaigning work with them; Capacity of small charity to develop and grow in a demanding and fast changing environment. Funding.. although Kalayaan has been well funded during its history, there is increasing evidence that funding for charitie5 ha5 become harder to win and that funders look for areas where systemic change 15 faster to achieve than in the contentious and complex areas of migrant worker's rights. Rising costs of overheads and Employers National Insurance contributions. Kalayaan is a fully accredited advice centre, with each advisor regulated by either the IAA, SRA or the Bar Standards Board.
