"This publication sheds light on the often hidden experience of irregular migrant domestic workers, and challenges Governments to take appropriate protective measures. It emphasizes that migrant domestic workers, regardless of whether they are male or female, children or adults, in a regular or irregular situation, are entitled to all fundamental human rights, without discrimination of any kind. The publication is illustrated by the experiences of two women who have lived the abuse and uncertainty that is documented here, and I express my gratitude to Marcela and Maryfe for their courage in sharing their stories. Their names and some identifying details of their stories have been altered for their protection"--Foreword
