About this Position

Do Bold works with migrant workers across the Gulf countries, many of whom face severe exploitation and are often victims of modern slavery. Given their vulnerable situation, the quickest path to restoring their freedom and dignity is through repatriation. We focus on securing their release and providing repatriation tickets, which we fundraise for.
