I’m Ritchel, I’m 41 years old, and I’m married with two children. With the help of our aunties who were working abroad, I was able to graduate college with a Bachelor of Science Major in Psychology. I worked in the Philippines as a sales clerk, in HR doing data entry, and as a school teacher before I decided to go abroad. I worked in Singapore for 11 years before I was brought here to London where I suffered verbal and physical abuse. 

 

The Voice of Domestic Workers rescued me and helped me to build my life slowly here in the UK with their advocacy and education programmes. I believe that all human beings no matter from where and in which social classes deserve a minimum of basic human rights.

​

I’m joining Future Voices to learn new things, improve myself and become the face and voice of the organisation who fights for our rights here in the UK.
