My name is Alice, and I am 44 years old. I’m the fifth child of seven children from the Philippines. When I was in the first grade, my father died due to liver cirrhosis, and that was the start of the suffering in mine and my family’s lives. At an early age, I started working by washing our neighbour’s clothes in order to survive day to day and buy food. In 2010, I decided to work abroad. The first country I worked in was Dubai, and this was very difficult. I had no rest, no days off, not enough food and a very low salary. The mother of my employer was also abusive. This employer brought me to the UK in August 2016. I have been a member of the Voice of Domestic Workers since then.
