This Campaign is a joint initiative by the National Committee of UNIFEM Singapore, Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics and Transient Workers Count Too. For more information about us, please look under the section of ‘Campaign HQ’ this site.

This is a public education campaign aimed at encouraging employers in Singapore to voluntarily give their domestic worker a day off. Through campaign activities such as talks, events, news articles and this website, we hope that enough people become convinced on the importance of giving their domestic worker personal time off.

To lend your support to the campaign and to know more about it, visit the Day Off website.

令有需要者倍感无助 药房酒精消毒片卖断货

新型冠状病毒爆发后,国内各家商店的手术口罩、消毒液都纷纷售罄,现在连酒精消毒棉片也出现断货的情况。 脸书群组Just Keep Thinking于2月5日,分享了来自Instagram的帖文,指一名糖尿病患者到药店购买酒精消毒棉片时,被售货员告知相关物件售罄的情况。 售货员促非必要勿购买 有关的Instagram动态相信是由售货员发出的,讲述了该需要消毒片以进行定期注射胰岛素的客户在获知物件售罄后,感到不知所措和沮丧。 “人们买消毒片做什么?这么小一片,要用来抹桌子吗?抹手都不够。剥夺真正有需要者的物资吗?” 该售货员建议,促请看到帖文的人们,若没有需要,请停止购买消毒片。 糖尿病患者初期在注射胰岛素之前,都需要用消毒片在注射部位进行消毒,而且每天至少要注射一次,因为他们的身体无法产生足够的胰岛素。 这种激素对人体非常重要,因为它有助于维持人体所需的血糖水平,而过高的血糖反而会导致失明、神经损失和肾衰竭。
