In its latest United Nations Universal Periodic Review (UPR), Singapore supported 243 out of 342 recommendations. Yet more than half of these recommendations were to “continue” the status quo or “consider” further action. More significantly, Singapore did not support recommendations to extend Employment Act and Work Injury Compensation Act protections to domestic workers. The Government cited the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act (EFMA) as a customised framework that better meets their protection needs. Does it really?

Migrant domestic workers still have no statutory limits on working hours, no statutory entitlement to overtime pay, and no guaranteed paid annual leave or paid public holidays.

GovTech, you’re helping public officers find a date. How about helping over 1.2 million migrant workers find fair employment?😄

Today is World Mental Health Day. Heavy recruitment debts and deceptive job promises are sources of distress we see regularly at HOME’s helpdesks. When the jobs fall through or the conditions are not what they were promised, workers face pressure to continue with exploitative conditions in order to repay their loans, or even just keep up with interest.

What if finding a job in Singapore could work differently for migrant workers? 🧐

We have a vision for a government recruitment portal connecting migrant workers directly with verified employers. 📝 Clear job terms, 🚫 no recruitment-agent fees, and 🪪 integration with the MOM work pass system, 📲 all through one portal. We have advocated for a direct recruitment portal in our United Nations Universal Periodic Review joint submission with TWC2.

Protecting mental well-being also means addressing the structural systems that cause distress. Let’s do it!

Mary Jane Veloso is finally free!

After more than 16 years in prison, the migrant domestic worker has received an absolute pardon and reunited with her family on 24 September 2026.

In 2010, Mary Jane left the Philippines seeking domestic work to support her two young sons. She was deceived about work in Malaysia and was then sent to Indonesia by her recruiters, allegedly for work again. She was arrested in Indonesia after he**in was found concealed in a suitcase supplied by her recruiter. She has consistently maintained that she was deceived and did not know the drugs were there. She was sentenced to death by firing squad.

In 2015, HOME organised a vigil in solidarity with Mary Jane, and a petition calling for her life to be spared was delivered to the Indonesian ambassador. We joined her family, regional migrant worker organisations and communities in calling for justice.

Her ex*****on was halted at the last minute in 2015, so she could participate in proceedings against her alleged traffickers in the Phillipines. But she was only transferred back to the Philippines in 2024 and pardoned almost two years later.

Her case reaffirms HOME’s belief that people who may have been trafficked must be recognised and protected as potential victims. Allegations of trafficking must be properly investigated, and victims must not be criminalised for acts arising from their exploitation.
