West Coast Domestic Workers’ Association (WCDWA) is a non-profit organization that provides pro bono full representation, assistance and community support to caregivers and other migrant workers, including survivors of labour trafficking in British Columbia. They are also actively involved in public legal education and law reform initiatives. This year marks their 30th anniversary!

In addition to assisting survivors of labour trafficking with their individual legal cases, WCDWA works to raise awareness of labour exploitation and trafficking among migrant worker communities. In 2015, WCDWA produced a short public service announcement (PSA) and is in the process of producing a documentary on labour trafficking as educational tools in partnership with the BC Office to Combat Trafficking in Persons. The organization has produced public legal education resources, engaged in research, and regularly conducts workshops on labour trafficking across BC.
