MARY

Mary is a committed outreach volunteer and Sunday workshop participant of STOP since 2021. Despite her busy weekday schedule as a migrant domestic worker, Mary dedicates her precious free time on Sundays to empower her fellow migrant community.

Over the past year, alongside her involvement in STOP’s Programme, Mary referred four cases to STOP and has worked closely alongside the team in providing casework support. Among these cases, three involved agency overcharging, while one related to labour exploitation. Mary connected with these individuals through social media and guided them to seek assistance from STOP. She also accompanied them to the STOP office to meet with the caseworker, providing them support as they filled out forms, and assisting them in organizing the chronological events related to their cases together. Her dedication and determination instiled hope in these clients, assuring them that it was possible to seek compensation and justice. In the end, all cases were successfully settled through the consulate and the Labour Department.

“I feel accomplished that the knowledge I was equipped with from the workshops could be applied in serving the community. I appreciate the trust and recognition placed in me by the STOP team, which further fuels my motivation to empower fellow migrant workers in the communities.”

自2021年起，Mary成為了STOP項目的社區成員領袖和周日工作坊參與者。 作為一名外籍家務工，儘管平日工作繁忙，Mary仍會抽出寶貴的周日時間來幫助她的外籍家務工社群，保障他們的權益。

在過去的一年裡，Mary在參與 STOP項目的同時，也向 STOP團隊轉介了四宗個案。並與團隊密切合作，提供個案工作支援。在這些案例中，有三宗涉及中介機構過度收費，另一宗涉及勞工剝削。Mary透過社交媒體與這些個案事主聯繫，並引導他們尋求 STOP團隊的幫助。她還陪同他們前往 STOP團隊辦公室與個案工作員會面，幫助他們填寫表格，並協助他們將案件相關的事件按時序整理。她的奉獻精神和決心為這些倖存者帶來了希望，讓他們相信尋求賠償和伸張公義是可能的。 最終，所有案件均透過領事館和勞工處成功被解決。

Mary表示：「我感到非常滿足，因為我能將工作坊中所學到的知識應用於服務社區。我感謝STOP團隊對我的信任和認可，這更加激勵了我為社區中的其他外籍家務工提供幫助。」
