"They leave their home countries intent on building a better future, but all that awaits them is exploitation. They work without papers in private households, often in exchange for a roof over their heads. Devoid of any specific training, they look after dependent and sick people, having to cope with overbearing emotional demands without outside help. Many of them find themselves subjected to physical and psychological mistreatment, and even sexual violence. Left alone in the face of brutal abuse, migrant domestic workers in Spain have started to join hands to gain mutual support."
