This Campaign is a joint initiative by the National Committee of UNIFEM Singapore, Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics and Transient Workers Count Too. For more information about us, please look under the section of ‘Campaign HQ' this site.

This is a public education campaign aimed at encouraging employers in Singapore to voluntarily give their domestic worker a day off. Through campaign activities such as talks, events, news articles and this website, we hope that enough people become convinced on the importance of giving their domestic worker personal time off.

We believe a day off is important because of the following reasons:

• A day off is a basic Labour Right. Domestic Workers are not currently included in the Singapore Employment Act that guarantees a day off a week by law for other employees.
• A day off improves morale and productivity of the employee and the working relationship between employer and employee.
• A day off gives FDWs the opportunity to use their free time to learn new skills, acquire knowledge and be empowered as individuals.
• FDWs are productive individuals who make an extremely valuable contribution to Singaporean society and like any other workers, they should be accorded a day off.
