Research for my Thesis
Hi everyone 👋
I'm a journalism student in Belgium working on my graduation project, a long-form article about the rights of au pairs in Brussels, and the gap between what the law promises and what many au pairs actually experience.
I'm looking to speak with au pairs based in Belgium (or who have been here), whether your experience was difficult, mostly fine, or somewhere in between. Every perspective matters, and I'm especially interested in whether you knew your rights when you arrived and how that affected your situation.
Everything can be fully anonymous. I'm not looking for drama, I genuinely want to tell these stories carefully and with respect.
If you'd be open to a chat (even just 20 minutes over WhatsApp or video call), please send me a DM or comment below. I'm also happy to answer any questions about the project first.
Thank you 🙏
