The domestic slaves rescued from London’s richest streets

In the last five years, hundreds of women have been saved from domestic slavery and violent abuse in the UK. More than 220 of those rescues were carried out by a small, fearless band of volunteers.
Channel 4 News has had exclusive access to the group, who've made it their mission to free those trapped behind the closed doors of wealthy families, mostly from the Middle East.

The very fact that private citizens had to rescue these women, shows how broken and corrupt the system is .

0:54 A super wealthy Arab family having a Filipina maid servant? I'm not surprised the wealthy Arab husband r-ed her, it's to be expected from their patriarchal muslim culture. edit: Islam is not a race but a religion, white people can be muslim, black people can be muslim, Asians can be muslim etc. People call me racist because I tell the truth: that mohammed r-ped aisha when she was 9 (reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 5134, Book 67, Hadith 70 and also in Sunan an-Nasa'i 3378, Book 26, Hadith 183). And mohammed also said it's okay for muslim men to r-pe non-muslim women they captured from the lands they conquered (Sahih Muslim 1456a, Book 17, Hadith 41). Also search Bacha bazi boys traditional practice in Afghanistan and Pakistan (a custom involving child ab-se by older men of young males or boys, called dancing boys, often involving s--x sl-very).

[@user-jf9zz2jl5q]

The same thing happened in a wealthy suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin a few years ago. The wealthy family sat in court in their pearls and business suits with their lawyers acting like they'd done nothing wrong. They were turned in by a family friend who noticed the foreign servant never, ever left the house and never had a day off. Law enforcement did an early morning raid on the house and found the maid chained to a pillar in the basement. All the adult family members went to jail on charges of slavery.

[@habibak.6234]

Wow, God bless the family friend for reporting them.

[@Godknowsvita]

My cousin(a 50 yr old lady) escaped domestic slavery in London. A wealthy Brazilian family hired her as a nanny, and she traveled to London with them. When she got there, they told her she had no days off and she was not allowed to go to sleep until everyone went to sleep, she was not allowed to sit down, and one month later she quit, they didn't want to pay her any money, not even the trip back to Brazil.

[@GenXGamerGirl_]

If she could quit, how is that slavery? I don’t doubt she was abused and mistreated, but if she could just quit she wasn’t their property and they couldn’t force her to keep working. I’m thinking the definition of slavery has changed.

[@Godknowsvita]

@GenXGamerGirl_ Because she worked for FREE around the clock and was left to find her own way back home overseas without help. Slaves are forced to work for free, without pay or rest. Ding bag.

[@iloveowls8748]

​@@GenXGamerGirl_maybe your definition is a bit too narrow. She wasn't paid? And wasn't allowed to do basic human stuff. Pretty slavish. The others could quit too in a sense, but were driven a lot by fear.

[@GenXGamerGirl_]

@@iloveowls8748 I missed that she wasn't paid at all. I see the part about not paying her after she quit, but I also see that she was "hired" which means an agreement was made. Whether they honored that or not is unclear. I do think their working conditions / demands were unreasonable, but my hubs has worked jobs here in the States that were very much like that - for minimum or near minimum wage. That doesn't make it okay, but it also isn't slavery, just crappy work conditions.

[@roomofmyown]

@@GenXGamerGirl_The 'crappy' work conditions ARE slavery. Not even bodily autonomy.

[@JamesSmith-qs4hx]

Did you know White slaves were sold in the 17th century more than Blacks in America, with a staggering death rate between 37% to 50%! Modern-day historians call the White slaves indentured servants, and they never refer to them as slaves. These White slaves had to work 14 hours a day with no wages, in the worst working conditions, equivalent to the same harsh hard labor that existed in the Gulag.

It was the middle of winter in Kensington 1992, she tried to ask locals for help but she was either ignored or threatened to be reported to the police. She was terrified and thought she was going to die of hypothermia (she had never been to a cold country before and had escaped at night wearing nothing but pyjamas) she spent that night on the floor of a tube station until another Filipina finally came and helped her.

[@auroraazraelle]

I am so so so thankful someone helped her, it is so evil to be begging for someone to not let this happen to you and to get treated like a dog, it ingrains the idea that you really aren’t human, and so many people get dragged back to it and told they like it, brainwashed into never leaving, out of hopelessness or fear. She is so strong and a fighter and I’m SO thankful to hear she has been able to create a life for herself outside of this trauma, and that she had the chance to have a child and hopefully create a family that loves her so much and can appreciate her strength for what she’s been through 💛 thank you for telling her story in an encouraging way and not letting her strength go unnoticed, unappreciated, or unrecognized 💛

They slaved her around she cooks, cleaned the house and doing their laundry and things. My niece said that after she cooks and everyone eats if there is no left over then she doesn’t eat, my niece lost a lot of weight. And worse after her duty is complete they would take her to another family home a relatives of people she’s working for and she would do the same clean their homes. She said one time the wife got jealous of her and destroyed all of belongings including her bras and anything that represented USA. She has a lot of things from USA because we send them to her. My niece said they cut up her clothes from holisters, america eagle and Nike shoes.

She had to find her passport, which had been taken from her by her employers before escaping, and was lucky to find it by searching the whole house from top to bottom during a weekend when the couple were away.

Especially not in the western world today. Most slavers never were white people. Africa was never not nr 1 in slave trade and ownership. Followed by middle eastern nations. The west did it last and stopped in a blink of an eye in the thousends...of years of organized slavetrade. From south american incas to pharaos,to tribes in africa to middle eastern empires to asian empires..slave trade was a practice including human sacrifice and even cannabalism....when whites were living in huts and wearing animal skins, slaves were trade by those races that otherwise allways brag about their ancient civilisations. Just only whites openly said as a whole it is wrong to own slaves and abolished it. The rest were made to do so by whites...but hey...let us just keep blaming whites for the whole thing and screw the estimated 50 million slaves living today being worked to death or just murdered...and let us not forget child labour.....etc. these are not western issues but eveything but western issues. But not blaming whites...that seems uncool and does not fit a narrative. Most importantly there is no money for it.

And when I say as soon as she had the aneurysm, I mean she had literally had it the day before. As soon as she got back from the hospital they had to pack their bags to catch their flight. Immediately they brought another man from India who was extremely old and didn't look physically healthy... neither of these people could speak English.

@Youvloggg Also where in my original comment did I say they were the ONLY hard working people? If I say, I like apples. I haven't said, I don't like oranges. You simply assumed that for no good reason. This is exactly like someone saying "black lives matter" and then someone else saying "all lives matter". Do you see?

[@silverdolphin1123]

Um no the Filipinos are one of the laziest workers n many spend time gossiping at their workplace, they even go so far as mocking their customers n clients right to their face. Speaking from observation.

[@Loyale1229]

They are a racist people themselves… so they had access to social media, had their own page to send out a SOS but they were prisoned in this house as slaves? 🥴 Whatever… There’s more to this story…

[@shalom3098]

Thank God for these people

[@kayparin]

To the rescuers and victims... praise God for your courage. Edmund Burket said, "The only thing necessary for evil to truimp is for good men to do nothing." Thank you rescuers for helping our kababayan. God will strengthen you more and He will help and bless you. For the victims, whatever you went through hold on to God because He will reward you tenfold of what you have lost. God be with you all!!

I read a story about this year ago, a man saying his parents had a philipino slave who he did t realise was such until he got older. Then when he was older he was so shameful but still did nothing to help. Only when she died did he feel guilty enough to at least take the body to her family in the Philippines. All domestic visas should be investigated and the perpetrators of abuse punished.

[@fluffdumpling8515]

I was torn about "his" feelings. Justifying willful blindness. I think because when he got to an age to be able to think about the situation (late teenage) he 'could have' (now realizing he "should have" ) have articulated his understanding of what was happening to his parents and what really was THE TRUTH. But he didn't. I think that inaction is appalling and inhumane behaviour. I don't understand why he wrote the essay.

[@chlorophyllheart]

@@fluffdumpling8515 I'm still glad he shared it otherwise I'd never have known about it. His actions were awful, not doing anything to help except in death; but by showing some of the many reasons it still happens, it could, maybe minutely, encourage a solution.

i read another article like this except it was a women. her parents wouldn’t even let their filipino ‘worker’ leave to visit her sick parents

Saddest parts is many of these women die at the hands of their “employers”

[@Justabitnosey]

This happened a few years ago where I live. A woman ran into a post office pleading for help. Staff got her to safety and phoned police. Those responsible were jailed.

[@Malakina1964]

good...very good

[@MistressGlowWorm]

Those responsible should’ve been given capital punishment.

[@barbara3911]

Who was responsible? What sort of person/household is doing this in 2023?

[@cherylpemberton1676]

Did you know recently a Texas trucker helped police find & free several dozen VERY SMALL CHILDREN (2-5 y/o) from cages in the back of a pickup truck? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJO2ZaJjfbShldEsi=Q4-25WnSl0nh6rcB MANY were AMERICAN KIDS ON THE LIST OF 'MISSING' BUT WERE KIDNAPPED!?? And police said it happens there EVERY DAY, thanks to no border security!!

They always do this to Non Muslim. Its in the Koran to treat others like dirt. ISLAM is an evil vile death cult. Muslims have no place outside of the Middle East.

[@theminiatureconstructionco4556]

The perpetrators need to be investigated and exposed if found guilty. And made an example of. This country ended slavery many years ago, this cannot be tolerated.

[@elisekrentzel27]

It is far more common than many realize. It’s horrific. Thank god these women were rescued.

@@brianschmidt9919so because you never met anyone who told you they were one.. it’s not common ? There’s 67 million people in uk.. lol

The one woman that was sent back to her country might be severely punished.

[@bangceeookiee3484]

@@brianschmidt9919 just gonna say this as kindly as possible, because your comment is pissing me off (though I understand its not your intention). First, to clarify, there are millions and millions of people who are brought and used against their will, who live in conditions of unfair treatment and injustice, especially those from third world countries into developed countries such as the Middle East, US and UK. If you'd like to educate yourself on the matter, google is literally right there. Secondly, your comment pissed me off because of the way you worded it. It makes the oppressed group feel like you're dismissing their experience, which leads to the fact that you're definitely someone born in privilege and have no clue on how immigrants are treated. Knowing a lot of people and not meeting modern slaves does not justify how your comment is literally saying "it's not true, it isn't common." I suggest, educate yourself on the topic before commenting something that dismisses an entire sect of people's experience. I hope you understand the problem of how you word your very, very, insensitive comment.

[@thenewkhan4781]

It's very common in places like Dubai. Westeners often go on vacation there but they are "blind" to the suffering of people from Southern Asia who are literal slaves there.

[@zforzone]

I wasn’t surprised at all when they said it was wealthy Middle eastern people, it’s very common in their culture . Their culture is rife with classism and gap in equality because of the extreme wealth gap in their societies.

[@Ixarus6713]

The people taking on and trafficking slaves should be named, shamed and then imprisoned. Absolute scum conducting literal slavery. These people are doing incredible work and it's a travesty there is no official law enforcement on this, we should be in uproar, not conducting private rescues. Keep up the great work and hopefully something changes to get this sorted with for good!

[@greasybumpkin1661]

it's mad, the navy used to sail across the world to hunt down slaver ships after abolition. What a disgrace that it's happening on the soil where it's enshrined in law that whoever steps on it is not a slave.

[@sbnl1214]

They’re middle eastern. Different culture and despicable practices. They don’t think like us. That’s why multiculturalism doesn’t work. It’s not race or color. It’s differences in values.

[@gabygaby5701]

But they can’t do that because human rights BS

[@BroderickNorthmoor]

middle eastern i.e oil money lining pockets of local politicians. They don't think other people are equal to them.

[@broadh2o980]

Slavery is literally explicitly legal and socially acceptable in most Arabian peninsula Islamic countries. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain. Built and maintained by a very visible slave class of foreign (south and southeast Asian) slaves. It’s despicable and they get mad when you criticize them or their religion that justifies it. This video is an example of that reality

These ladies are brave and heroic ❤❤❤
