@ammpo_sentro @Pertimig_1512 @IDWFED gearing up together to fight for the rights of domestic workers!

[AmmpoSentro @ammpo_sentro]

In Malaysia, domestic workers are left in forced labour situations, vulnerable to abuses and violence. Why? Under the Employment Act (1955), we are "servants" and are excluded from basic workers rights.

[Project Liber8 @ProjectLiber8]

It's no big news Malaysia relies heavily on labour work and these 3D (Dirty, Dangerous & Difficult) jobs are done by migrant workers. However, the Employment Act 1955 has not been amended to protect the rights of migrant workers, making them vulnerable to exploitation & abuse.

“I am Dehal.
When I ferry you across the Umtru river,
You can see my hamlet –
A small hillock reaching for the clouds,
Masked by bamboo shoots and areca-nut trees..."

Powerful statement from Pedro Molina: "In Nicaragua, if you are in a police car, it's not a good thing." Very true for some South Asian countries now.

[Raina Bhattacharya @rainab8_raina]

Very much agree with Mr. Pedro Molina, who stated that in most countries of the world, the dichotomy of left and right is not relevant. It is about authoritarianism at the end. #CoE_WFD @WFDemocracy

@bombaywallah Hi Sidharth! I am from India and I am part of the Youth Delegation at the World Forum for Democracy. I am right here! Can I meet you?

Sorry for this. Could not dm you.

Not very convinced with the argument that political ads on Facebook should not be banned because that should mean it will be banned from everywhere. Facebook does not have restricted space unlike offline journals, and the impact and spread is much higher. @WFDemocracy #CoE_WFD

Love to the activist from Pakistan, who raised an important issue about accountability from big tech in social media! @WFDemocracy #CoE_WFD

We have a lot more information today, but we live in a more monopolistic situation, says the former President of Italy. @WFDemocracy #CoE_WFD

Very concerning question: how late are we in our efforts to save democracy? Raised by the Madame Secretary General of the Council of Europe at @WFDemocracy #CoE_WFD

Strong democracies tend to have more public TV.
Strong democracies tend to invest more in their national public service media.
