Au Pair programs are banned by the Philippines Department of Foreign Affairs. But some still manage to join these programs and end up working illegally abroad.

We take a closer look at the lives of au pairs. Au Pairs normally stay with a host family in a foreign country to learn about language and culture, while helping with daily chores. But for some Filipinos, au pair programs become opportunities to become undocumented domestic workers. While living with their host families for 18 months, they serve as nannies, cooks and all-around helpers.  Look the full description both in English and Tagalog of the video HERE

This documentary is mainly in Tagalog with Danish subtitles.

The term AU PAIR refers to a cultural exchange, where young people can experience a foreign country in return for light housework and nursing - and a small allowance. In reality, au pairs are very cheap domestic help for busy families all over the world. Au Pair follows three Philippine girls as they leave their families behind and try to make a better future for themselves abroad.

This documentary concerns Filipino overseas foreign workers (or OFWs) and what they are forced to endure, including abuse in foreign countries and neglect in their home country.
