Migrant Worker Lives Matter Symposium (24 May 2024)

Organized by the Department of English and Communication at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in collaboration with Pathfinders and Mission for Migrant Workers

This half-day symposium will address some of the structural issues facing migrant domestic workers (MDWs) in Hong Kong. Three interrelated themes will be addressed through short talks from academics, policy makers, migrant worker NGOs, domestic workers, and their employers: (1) Domestic work as a caring profession; (2) Migrant worker health issues; and (3) Migrant domestic worker employer-employee relationships.

Important questions we aim to address include: How do we make Hong Kong a more inclusive society? How can we better embrace the diversity MDWs bring to the city? How can we better prepare employers and domestic workers for the close relationship they will need to develop? How do we ensure MDWs have access to healthcare? How can we help both workers and employers know more about MDWs’ rights? How can we help develop more harmonious relationships between MDWs and employers?

Date: 24 May 2024
Time: 2:00 - 6:15 pm
Venue: N002, Lim Por Yen Lecture Theatre 2, G/F, Block N, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
