Modern slavery

  • Maid in Singapore I'm a 29 yr old Filipina domestic worker in Singapore. I've been here for four years and experienced pain, suffering, loneliness, happiness and joy during this time. This blog is my story, my attempt to describe life here as a foreign worker from my point of view. There are almost 200,000 of us here yet our voices are seldom heard, our opinions seldom counted.
  • Maids are Human Beings too In addition to feeling strongly for the rights of foreign domestic workers, she has also been a strong advocate of the rights of house elves.
  • A False Necessity: Singapore’s Maid Trade In my gleamingly modern home town of Singapore, trading in women has been refined to a stomach-churningly efficient art.
