What can FAIRWORK Belgium do for you?

FAIRWORK Belgium is an organisation with more than 20 years of experience defending the employment rights of labour migrants, documented and undocumented, domestic workers and young au pairs in Belgium. Our services are completely free and our mission is to support victims of exploitation.

Helpdesk

Through our helpdesk for domestic workers and au pairs, we offer individual assistance and information relating to your employment rights and the way in which you can enforce those rights. We put you in touch with the labour inspectorate and we can help you file a complaint against your employer and with the remainder of the process.

You can get in touch with us in Dutch, French, English and Spanish. If your language is not one of those listed, please ask a friend or acquaintance to phone for you.

Cultural activities for au pairs only

In addition to our helpdesk, we have established the empowerment project FAIRWORK Belgium for Domestic Workers, aimed at domestic workers and au pairs in Belgium. As part of this project, we organize monthly socio-cultural activities exclusively for au pairs, such as museum visits, guided tours in various Belgian cities, workshops, and more. We do this to help you experience a true cultural exchange program in practice and to connect you with other au pairs.

During these activities, we might inform you about your rights as an au pair and the responsibilities of your host family. All our activities for au pairs are completely free of charge and are organised in English. Information about your rights can be provided in Dutch, French, English and Spanish.

FAIRWORK Belgium is not an employment agency. We do not intervene during the recruiting process and we can’t help you find a job as housekeeping staff either.
