NO MORE

According to the International Labour Office (ILO)  estimates that There are 67 million domestic workers, globally, including  17.2 million children below the age of 18 and 7 million below the age of 15 (ILO 2017a; ILO 2017b; Anti-Slavery International 2018). The vast majority of domestic Workers are women and girls, though patterns vary across countries (Anti-Slavery International 2018). The Number of domestic workers in Tanzania is estimated to be over one million (883,779 in mainland Tanzania and 203,622 in Zanzibar), constituting 5 percent of the Working population (ILO 2014). Domestic work is characterized by excessive working Hours, extremely low pay or no pay at all, and conditions that make the profession exploitive in many cases. Among children, domestic work keeps them out of school and deprived of a childhood, confined to the home, socially isolated, and burdened with excessive domestic Duties, often in excess of their capabilities for their Age (Black 2002).Domestic servitude is a pervasive global issue, trapping millions in forced labor. Most of adolescent girls and young women who are graduating from primary school are forced to traveling to city and town through local agent (local human trafficking) to work as domestic workers. Tanzania is a particular area of concern, with estimates suggesting around 1 million children, primarily girls, working in domestic settings, the domestic workers in Tanzania forces by the environment and economic reasons most of girls are coming from poor families which forced young girls to migrate to cities for work making them more susceptible to exploitation, lack of education and awareness  most of girls especially from poor family are lacking skills due to school dropout hence lacking  education options which restrict to job opportunities  and make them easier to manipulated, poor traditions and customers that undermine and undervalue  girls education and opportunities  make them vulnerable to control, existence of week policy and laws that protect domestic workers this leave adolescent girls and young women who are domestic workers  with the little protection.

These factors combine to create a situation where domestic workers face extreme exploitation. They often work long hours for little to no pay, are denied breaks and rest periods, and can be subjected to physical or emotional abuse. Traffickers exploit this vulnerability, luring young people with false promises before forcing them into domestic servitude.

Mobile applications, mobile application is a helpful tool that will help to provide support for adolescent girls in domestic labor. This application will offer various features to address the needs of adolescent girls effectively.  The application will provide legal support to victims, awareness opportunities, and skill-building programs tailored to their situation. Through application, it will help to mentorship sessions and counseling services, creating safe space where girls can connect, share experiences, and seek guidance and also will create friendly environment for reporting abuse cases, accessing emergency services, and receiving important notifications can enhance their safety and well-being.  Through a mobile application it will help to offer a convenient and accessible platform and safe space that empowers girls, fosters a sense of community, and provides them with the necessary support.

 Establishment of Online counseling sessions to victims, the programs will help victims of domestic labor to get support free of charge. The programs will offer accessible way for these girls to get help, guidance, and mental health support; we will connect them with trained professionals without the need to travel to a physical location. Through online counseling victims will receive counseling, advice, and coping strategies to navigate their situation effectively. And we will ensure privacy, flexibility, to their specific needs.

 Advocacy for Policy Reforms, through the program we will have strategic meeting with decision makers to advocating for policies that protect the rights of girls in domestic labor, and ensure they have legal support. This includes using online platform to establish the advocacy massages, advocating for friendly working environment and that regulate working hours, fair wages, and provide access to education.

 Skill-Building Platforms, initiating skill-building programs to equips girls with skills and knowledge to build their future prospects. To capacitate them with practical skills and vocational skills such as financial literacy, vocational training, and entrepreneurship, to enable them to pursue alternative career paths.

Establishing mentorship programs,   through the project we will provide emotional support and guidance to victims of domestic labor. We will have mentors to offer advice, encouragement, and resources this will help to impact their personal and professional development.

 Awareness creation to victims of domestic workers who are    adolescent girls  to recognize and report any form of modern slavery in their working places by initiating reporting mechanism within their communities by working hand in hands with local government leaders, religious leaders and other stakeholders in the specific community.

To address root causes of modern slavery such as teen pregnancies, poverty, lack of education opportunities, lack of information, by strengthening safe space for girls where they will have spaces to sharing experiences, skills building, vocational training and increase access to information which will help to raise their voices on the impact of modern slaves and to be ambassadors to other adolescent girls in their communities.

To address potential risk in addressing exploitation and sexual exploitation facing by adolescent girls who are domestic workers, we will provide digital security awareness basing on how to create a strong password, two factorial,  to create secure communication channel through mobile App for domestic workers to access information and report any kind of abuse and exploitation, training beneficiaries on Data management and diversity, will be trained on dataset representing different experiences on Domestic workers fro, different countries , this will helps to mitigate bias in responses and ensure information is relevant to all. The App that will be developed will ensure there is clearly limitation and support complex issues, creating a platform though app to make sure that there are users are reporting any misleading information, the solution will be created to comply with data privacy regulation In Tanzania. We are also going to collaborate with other stakeholders like local government, NGOs, workers union and employers to ensure our solution align with local beneficiaries needs.

BINTI MAKINI FOUNDATION  are right organization to provide solution since we have been working with adolescent girls and young women more than five years and addressing their need , we have creating Binti makini center as a safe space for girls which accommodate more than 250 adolescent girls in Chanika ward, Dar es salaam, as a team we have all level of Bachelor degree with more than 5 years engaging with adolescent girls through mapping, survey and power analysis, sitting with girls listening to them and preparing a solution  basing on their challenges and priorities, we have been conducting survey and power analysis through focus group discussion with adolescent girls who are facing sexual violence in homes because of their work, so this will increase initiatives in solving their problems   as it will help to make informed choices about their rights, as organization we are using partnership model so we will work with other local NGOs and CBOs to reach more beneficiaries but to create sustainability of our solution, their connection within community will be a vital roles in need assessment to ensure the solution address local need and priorities of domestic workers, all through working with other partners it will help to disseminate information easier. Partnership with government and local government this will help in working with Tanzania agencies responsible for labor standard and anti- trafficking and ensure that our solution align with existing initiatives and legal frame work.

We are in pilot stage because we have the same initiative that we established in one Ward which is Chanika in Dar es salaam and save 220 adolescent girls who are victims of modern slavery, where we created safe space for them, so we want to expand to other communities by using technology we ensure reach high number of beneficiaries and save them

Binti makini foundation we have been conducting power analysis and mapping to identify the challenges facing adolescent girls who are working in domestic environment, but the challenges is financial resources which limit our effort to address the challenge in a wider range , through our intervention it had to reach all domestic workers country wise so we need to use technology in our solution as we will Develop APP and hotline services which needs resources but through your support would allow for the creation of high quality, secure app available for free to domestic workers in Tanzania however not every domestic worker can access the App so will help them through offline functionality as a alternative  solution for those without Smartphone’s 

• Our solution is innovative because of the use of technology, as we are using Mobile APP in Swahili language to help all domestic workers to access the information without a limitation of a language, we are also going to disseminate information directly with the use of hotline and direct massages chats in local language to increase accessibility and empowers workers with knowledge and skills, offer safe space for them to access information and report abuse cases without fear and judgment. Development of registration system with verification, while some platforms connect domestic workers and employers, requiring employer verification of labor law compliance during registration introduces an accounting measure. Leveraging data from registrations, hotlines, and workers communities to help them to identify high risk areas allows for focusing intervention and strategic resources allocation by NGOs and government agencies. Conducting online training with module materials which help to educate employers on their legal responsibilities and help domestic workers to identify sign of exploitation in their working areas. My solution can serve as a model for other regions facing domestic servitude issues. The modular approach allows for adaptation to different contexts. The positive impact of our solution It will help to reduce the number of adolescent girls and young women trapped in domestic servitude in Tanzania.

Evidence Supporting the Links:

• Research by ILO shows that lack of awareness about rights makes workers more vulnerable. My solution directly addresses this knowledge gap.
• Studies by [Anti-Slavery International] highlight the fear of reporting abuse. The anonymous support features in my app can help overcome this fear.
• Data analysis by UNICEF data on child domestic labor) indicates hotspots for child exploitation. My solution's data analysis will help identify similar high-risk areas for domestic servitude in Tanzania.

The impact goal of our solution is to create friendly environment for domestic workers to access their right and working in non-exploitive ways, and also to reduce the number of adolescent girls and young women who are forced to work in domestic workers because poverty, poor tradition and customers that undermine their right to accesses the right to education, as well as adolescent girls who are dropped out from school because of pregnancies that forced them to travel to cities to work as domestic workers to serve their families and themselves, we are going to achieve this goals through initiated solution that will impact adolescent girls directly. Through our solution s and goals, we are going to measure progress through. We will start by reviewing the requirements and deliverables that the team agreed upon at the beginning of the project solution. For each deliverable, note the required resources, tasks, and the time it took to complete. We will assess whether or not all the deliverables are completed, and agreements are met within the expected time frame. The budget is an essential indicator of project success. We will look at the amount and time spent on the project, and whether or not it exceeded the budget. We will access the Client satisfaction with the solution result. If they are not fully satisfied, we must ask them to provide feedback, which can take as insight for future projects to help generate repeat issues. It's important that the solution team feels good about their role and the project's result. Was the project challenging and interesting? Is the team satisfied with the quality of the deliverables? These factors contribute to the project team's sense of fulfillment and job satisfaction.

We will use digital modern technology such as mobile application, websites social medial accounts through social media influencers to track instances of modern slavery, as we explained that the online platform will be used to provide services to victims who are seeking support.

Training and online education, we will use online platforms such as  webinars to equip girls with the knowledge and skills needed  to combat modern slavery which will help to  protect the other adolescent girls engaging in modern slavery.

The use of hotline and direct massages this will help to create solution and disseminate information direct to the domestic who are not accessing Smartphone’s.
