女佣活活被虐致死最后体重仅剩24公斤   控方斥雇主残忍不人道!

缅佣虐待致死案震惊全国,不少议员在国会内也表示对此事感痛心,包括人力部长杨莉明和人力部政务部长颜晓芳。因此,人力部将会从三方面下手,加强女佣的保护措施。

人力部政务部长颜晓芳表示,针对近日令人震惊的缅佣惨虐致死案,无数新加坡人感到发指,而这种行为,颜晓芳认为是“惨无人道的行为”。

因此,对于惨绝人寰的虐待行为,颜晓芳表示,当局将会严阵以待,且对少数及弱势群体,如老人、孩子和女佣,应该伸出援手很支持。

女佣在社会当中占据重要的角色,无论是在家务活或是看护,虽然大部分雇主都对外籍女佣的贡献感恩,但仍有部分雇主对外籍女佣视若无睹,甚至会予以伤害行为。

颜晓芳强调,任何对外籍女佣实施暴力行为的雇主,当局将会采取零容忍的态度。根据刑法2020,一旦被发现出现对外籍女佣实施暴力行为,将会以予以双倍的惩罚。

而人力部也会从三方面加强女佣的保护措施,首先,中介有义务确保女佣的安全,尤其是首次来到新加坡工作的女佣,包括对新手女佣在工作期间进行一对一的面谈,或者强制休息日,让 女佣有机会能够寻求协助。

其次,是与医疗机构合作,提高尽早发现虐待案的迹象;再来则是与民间组织合作,加强社会的联系。

对此,客工组织“情义之家”(HOME)对颜晓芳的言论表示支持,并指对人力部愿意加强外籍女佣的保护措施而感到兴奋。

“更值得高兴的是,人力部目前正考虑强制休息方案,取代雇主以支付帮佣薪资剥夺女佣的休息日。”

客工组织对人力部的建议表示支持

正如该组织此前所提倡,强制性休息日能够让女佣在被虐之下有缓和的情况,及时寻求协助,同时也为他们的身心健康着想。

与此同时,人力部也指出,考虑要求中介在新人刚开始工作时安排面谈,让他们能够及时寻求帮助,并与医生合作,尽快发现虐佣案的迹象。

对此,组织表示,女佣可能在工作期间被孤立,导致她们更容易陷入被虐的情况,因此这些检查能够确保女佣的安全,让他们尽早脱离被虐的情况。

“我们也希望,这样的检查能够持续支持女佣的就业过程,因为严重虐案通常都是循序渐进。”

最后,客工组织也对人力部所提出的措施表示支持,并指出女佣是社会上不可分割的一部分,因此需要做更多工作保护他们的安全和福祉。
