On September 22, Inna from MDW Recharge Hub was invited at the Philippine Consulate MWO-OWWA to deliver Art as Therapy for Stress Management. The participants danced, drew, and wrote about their relaxing spaces and found inner resources to continue to stay strong and resilient despite the challenges of being migrant workers.

On Sept. 8, we had the Women’s Health Fair co-organized with PathFinders for Migrant Workers. Mental health is an integral part of our overall health and well-being. In this event, we co-facilitated a workshop with Body Banter to highlight how we can take charge of our own narratives and our well-being. Participants reflected on their Wheel of Life. Since we all have unique experiences and goals, it’s good to take a step back every now and then and reflect where we’re at in our journey so that we can move forward with intention.

We hope that through this event our migrant domestic workers learned more about different aspects of women’s health–from menstrual health, sexual and reproductive health, pregnancy and menopause, women-specific cancers, and mental health.

Special thanks to our lovely partners: Peduli Kasih HK, Free Periods HK, Phenomenally Pink, LUÜNA, Body Banter, Mission for Ethnic Minorities’ Sexual Health, Online Courses By Uplifters, Social Justice for Migrant Workers – Hong Kong.

We had a great time at Mission For Migrant Workers’ Give Care to our Caregivers service fair for migrant domestic workers on May 26! We offered well-being checks for our booth visitors to know more about their recent mood. They were also given a safe and non-judgmental space to share and open up on how they have been doing.

On May 14, we had the chance to share about mental wellness to newly arrived Indonesian domestic workers at KJRI HK or Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia HK.
