For all the sisters, aunts, and older siblings who are migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong — your mental health is a RIGHT, not a luxury.
Behind the smile on video calls, there is a longing that is held back. Behind "I am fine", there is exhaustion from working without a break, lack of sleep, painful words, and guilt from being far from children and family.
This poster summarizes 7 issues that we often hear from research and the stories of friends — from live-in isolation, transnational family burdens, to the fear of asking for help due to stigma.
You are not alone. Exhaustion is valid. Longing is natural. Asking for help is brave, not weak.
Listening. Understanding. Supporting.
No one should have to face this burden alone. 🤝
