Go On, Give Your Maid A Day Off

Hardworking locals enjoy a weekly day off., but it's not a done deal for everyone.

Only half the maids here have a regular day off, according to a Sunday Times poll in 2003.

Unifem Singapore, Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (Home) and Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2) have joined hands to campaign for this 'basic labour right'.

As E-von Yeung from SPH finds out, that right makes a huge difference to foreign domestic workers here.
