Stop! Look! Listen! We care, you should too. A video message from Childminders, au pairs, care givers and cleaners members of the Domestic Workers Action Group

In 2003, a small group of domestic workers met in the MRCI offices one Sunday evening, forming the Domestic Workers Action Group (DWAG). Ten years later, well over 300 domestic workers are active members of DWAG.

In that decade, DWAG has changed national policy and transformed individual lives by organising, protesting and campaigning, working with Government representatives, trade unions, State bodies and national and international organisations. Above all, they have supported each other through private troubles and collective challenges.

This is the story of their first 10 years together.

In July 2013, after over a year of campaigning (researching, strategising, appearing in the media, meeting with politicians and policymakers, film-making and making their voices heard), MRCI's Migrant Education Access group won a huge battle: Minister for Education Ruairi Quinn announced key changes in third-level fee policies. Here's how this dynamic group of young activists made it happen.
