Migrant workers protest against violence and exploitation via flash mob dance

Both Hong Kong and Taiwan have witnessed cases of employers allegedly abusing their domestic workers. “One Billion Rising for Justice of All Migrant Workers” originates from the global women's rights movement “One Billion Rising,” which is fighting to end violence against women and girls.

On the same day as Valentine’s Day, February 14, locations all over the globe staged flash mob dances, pointing fingers to the sky in a symbolic expression of their opposition to sexual assault, oppression, abuse and violence etc. In the central hall of Taipei Main Station, staff from Indonesian Migrant Workers Association in Taiwan (ATKI-Taiwan) and Migrante International-Taiwan Chapter, rose up to raise attention to the issue of rights and benefits for migrant workers.
