Read the report here: labourexploitation.org/publications/v…
This report threads these experiences together to show that vulnerability comes from the structures themselves. To address these systemic risks, we present the case for a dedicated UK fishing visa which enables migrant fishers to access rights as workers in practice.
🚨 New FLEX Report 🚨 Too often, migrant fishers' lived experiences are not part of the conversation. In "Voices from the Deck: The Workers’ Rights Case for a UK Fishing Visa", we bring their perspectives to the forefront. The stories they tell paint a clear picture:
Great to see the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner @UKAntiSlavery highlighting the crisis happening in fishing in her new report. Migrant workers are forced to operate in a system of dependency that makes them disposable. This must urgently be addressed by policy-makers.
Exploitation in the UK is rising - and evolving. Today I published my latest report - Anticipating Exploitation: A Futures Analysis - which shows how exploitation in the UK is becoming more hidden, more digital, and harder to detect. And what Government must do now. 📄Full
Workers’ rights cannot be contingent on the whims of employers, loopholes or luck. Workers rights must instead be a guarantee, to all workers. This #InternationalWorkersDay, the government must stop making workers disposable. Read our May Day blog: labourexploitation.org/news/internati…
If we were to play a board game where the rules were broken, we wouldn’t blame the players; we’d blame the game itself. So if "irregularity" means failing to meet the visa rules, then we must look at the rules themselves to see if they are reasonable. freemovement.org.uk/irregular-migr…
Domestic work in a private household is a sector with huge risks of exploitation. Workers cannot keep waiting to have basic safety. The government must stop delaying, and must at minimum reinstate the hard-won rights from the original migrant domestic worker visa.
'Slavery was never abolished': Domestic worker group calls on government to restore visa rules itv.com/news/2026-04-2…
Read the full statement: southallblacksisters.org.uk/news/false-dom…
The BBC’s claims do not reflect reality. Our organisations see victim-survivors facing suspicion, delays and barriers to safety. Misuse is the exception, not the norm. With 92 organisations, we reject this framing and call for evidence-led change ooted in lived experience.
Read the briefing: labourexploitation.org/publications/p…
From government and the media, we are constantly told that irregular migrants have chosen to commit some moral failure. In FLEX’s new briefing, we analyse how irregularity is directly connected to the government’s design of migration routes.
We also join the calls to properly resource the FWA and to publish transparent enforcement data, covering inspection activity, enforcement actions, sector-specific patterns and the balance between proactive and reactive work. More here: trustforlondon.org.uk/research/build…
