For many migrant domestic workers (MDWs), a rest day is precious. It might be spent running errands, meeting friends, or simply enjoying the outdoors. For others, it’s a chance to stay active and connected through sport. Every alternate Sunday, teams of MDWs come together at Sembawang Recreation Centre to do just that. HOME Sports organises tournaments across various sports, providing a space for the MDW community to come together, compete, and support one another.

On 19 March 2025, HOME launched its latest report, Risky Rides: A Report on the Transportation of Migrant Workers on Lorries,  calling for a ban on the unsafe practice of transporting workers on lorries. The launch was attended by local and international media, as well as embassy officials and fellow civil society organisations, many of whom have also advocated for safer transport options for migrant workers.  

The Population in Brief, published in September 2024, excludes migrant domestic workers (MDWs) from the "foreign workforce". This exclusion contradicts other policy implementations, in which MDWs are considered employees. Such exclusion also reinforces social and economic inequalities, and entrenches the devaluation of their contributions to our country.
