This June 16th marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Domestic Workers Convention! 🥳 More commonly, this day is known as International Domestic Workers’ Day.

At HOME, International Domestic Workers’ Day is an opportunity to celebrate the ones who hold a pivotal role in caring for our children and elderly, maintaining our households, and enabling families in Singapore to work and live with greater ease.

However, gratitude alone cannot protect domestic workers – it is crucial for us to recognize domestic work as work, and to push for policy that ensures workers are treated with the dignity, rights and protections they deserve. ✊

To all our MDW friends: Happy International Domestic Workers’ Day!

So, apparently I’m banned here... ⚽️🏃💨 but here’s the real kicker. While I may cause the occasional bruise, lorry transport has caused over 114 migrant workers to be seriously injured while travelling to work.

So really, if I’m banned then lorries should be banned too! 🛻🚫

Geez, what’s the trick to staying legal?

Apparently, I’m banned while lorry transport which has killed more than 114 migrant workers since 2000 is still legally permitted. Get real!

If I’m banned, then lorries should be banned too! Sign our petition to ban lorry transport for migrant workers.

Introducing “HOME RUNS!” 💥⚾️, our new series spotlighting the wins that migrant workers fight hard for, and the support that helps make justice possible.

In our first post, read about Sally’s salary dispute, the challenges she faced navigating the Employment Claims Tribunal (ECT) process, and how HOME supported her over 9 months towards a successful resolution.

HOME RUNS! celebrate important successes, but they also reveal the complex legal and bureaucratic hurdles migrant workers often have to face, many times without support. Thank you to our followers, who came through with a resounding response of this title on our IG stories 💗🙏

Wishing a peaceful and meaningful Vesak Day to all who celebrate, especially the migrant brothers and sisters celebrating this occasion far from home.

Observed by many migrant workers from South Asian, Southeast Asian, Tibetan and Mongolian communities, Vesak Day is a time for reflection, compassion and community, even across borders and distances from loved ones.

Singapore is building more, faster and bigger than ever. But behind our MRT lines, BTO flats, ports, airports and infrastructure projects are migrant workers whose labour makes this possible, yet many still face recruitment debt, unsafe transport, excessive overtime, barriers to changing jobs and fear of repatriation.

A recent Straits Times opinion piece by Tan Dawn Wei asks an urgent question: if Singapore depends so heavily on migrant workers, why do we accept conditions we would never tolerate for ourselves? 🤔

Read the ST article and HOME and TWC2’s UPR submission, which was referenced, to understand why stronger protections are urgently needed.

I’m sick of being fed excuses! How is feeding me any more dangerous than transporting people in the back of lorries? Which by the way, has killed more than 114 migrant workers since 2000, yet it is still legally permitted.

If I’m banned, then lorries should be too!

Something about this situation stinks (and it’s
not me) 👀

Lots of people love me! Yet I’m the one that’s
banned when lorry transport has killed more
than 114 migrant workers since 2000.
So, if I’m bad enough to get banned, then
lorries should be too!
