However, the needs of these migrants are increasing,

@RemittDAO Those are not from yesterday.

Most of them are from last month’s action.

The protest of migrant domestic workers continues against lawmaker Elizabeth Quat and legislator Frankie Ngan referring MDWs as a "product that didn't fit in their description".

WE WILL CONTINUE OUR FIGHT.

女性不能在這種情況下繼續保持沉默。

隨著重新開放集會，3月5日在遮打道舉行的國際婦女節慶祝活動表明，香港女性的反抗仍充滿生命力。

她們讓人們知道，在一個將女性置於低下地位的父權社會中，無論處境如何困難，她們仍有站起來擺脫暴力、打破父權枷鎖、追求平等的熱望。

另一方面，女性移民家務工在香港社會中亦遭受着不平等待遇。

其中一些是使其在香港處於弱勢地位的政策，例如：兩星期逗留條件、強制於僱主家中住宿、被排除在法定最低工資之外，以及沒有工作時間規定等。

儘管她們為香港家庭提供了幫助，但她們作為女性和工人並沒有得到認可和讚賞。

-SMW remains at a low rate while migrant workers are receiving slave-like wages and are excluded in the SMW.

-Discrimination to local grassroots women with HK's structural inequalities disempowers women and obstructs them in participation at all levels from home to society.

Join Us Tomorrow!

To Rise, Unite, Dance and Make Our Voice Heard.

Since 2013, One Billion Rising has always been a platform for both migrants and locals in Hong Kong to call for an end to the exploitation and violence against women.

[AMCB-IMA @AsianMigrantsHK]

- Around 54% of HK's 7.5 million are comprised of women and a home to 380,000 foreign domestic workers—exploited, abused, and oppressed by a system that is faithful to neoliberal policies that puts profit over people.

- One out of 5 Hong Kong people lives below the poverty line.
