North Kensington Law Centre campaigns for an end to domestic slavery


North Kensington Law Centre is campaigning for an end to domestic slavery in the UK, together with ex-client and volunteer, Patience Asuquo.

Patience was kept as a domestic slave in London after her employer confiscated her passport, physically attacked her and stopped her from leaving the house. In three years, she was paid no more than a few hundred pounds. North Kensington Law Centre helped her to gain compensation at the employment tribunal. Listen to the Radio 4 programme, File on 4, on domestic servitude featuring Patience and the Law Centre solicitor who helped her.
