The Pilipino American Student Union (PASU) and Stanford Asian American Activism Committee (SAAAC) are holding an event on January 13th, Thursday, at Okada Lounge from 7-8:30PM to raise awareness about human rights issues affecting migrant workers in Hong Kong. Aurora David, a Program on Human Rights / Center on Ethics in Society 2010 Human Rights Fellow, will report back on research she conducted on the conditions of migrant domestic workers, specifically sexual violence committed against these workers and policies that discourage them from speaking out. The presentation will be followed by a discussion led by SAAAC.  

Donations will be accepted for Bethune House, a shelter in Hong Kong that houses migrant workers who are victims of employer maltreatment, and physical and verbal abuses.
