Tyler Kuo
A podcast series where I interview domestic helpers in Hong Kong. The purpose is to raise awareness about issues that these helpers face currently. I base each episode around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that are relevant to these helpers.
Domestic helpers have to balance education with their careers. This often means that helpers have to sacrifice their educational pursuits in favor of their job. In this final episode, I interview a helper on this issue and what we can all do.
Working conditions in Hong Kong for domestic helpers are a prominent problem. They are vulnerable to many human rights cases of abuse and often work long hours with no pay. This episode will address some questions on this issue.
Another issue that domestic helpers face is healthcare. They are often subject to physical abuse and their bosses sometimes do not offer adequate healthcare payment. This episode focuses on this issue and solutions that can be taken.
In many cases, domestic helpers do not receive the same rights as normal Hong Kong citizens. They face major problems with wages, harassment, and ill-treatment. In this episode, I interview a domestic helper on this issue.
Gender Inequality is a prominent issue among domestic helpers in Hong Kong. I interview a domestic helper to gain more insight into this problem.
