Educating Filipino Muslim migrants the destructive realities of the WTO.
14-Nov-2005
Migrant organizations continue with their Education for Mobilization campaign with talks amoung local groups in Hong Kong.
In an event hosted in the Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre in Wanchai, the Helpers of Islam, an organization of Filipino Muslim migrant women who work as domestic helpers in Hong Kong, invited representatives from AMCB to talk about the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Women from the Helpers of Islam and MUSFILA (Muslim Filipino Association) attended the event despite the day being Idul Fitri, a Muslim holiday to celebrate Muslim New Year and the end of Ramadan.
Presenting was Eman Villanueva from UNIFIL - Hong Kong, who explained the destructive policies of the WTO. Regardless of race or religon, WTO policies have negative effects on majority of people including the Muslim migrant community in Hong Kong.
After the realities of the WTO are exposed, the women pledge to support the Junk WTO campaign and join the rallies to protest the WTO conference this December.
