Nearly 240,000 women – majority from Indonesia and the Philippines – leave their homes in search of a better life for themselves and their families. On top of difficult working conditions, domestic workers also struggle to maintain connections with their families and lives back home.

In celebration of International Domestic Workers Day (IDWD), AWARE is partnering with Aidha, HOME and Singapore Committee for UN Women to screen Remittance, a powerful film telling the story of Marie, a foreign domestic worker in Singapore, and her struggles to cope with demanding employers, long hours of work and separation from her family. The film also explores the transformations that Marie goes through as she balances conflicting obligations and aspirations.

Join us to celebrate IDWD and learn more about the lives and struggles of foreign domestic workers in Singapore. The screening will be held at Shaw Theatres Lido on two dates, Sun 18 June (registration closed), 3pm & Wed 5 July, 7pm, which will be followed by a short discussion. We welcome your friends, family, and colleagues to join us!
