Stephanie Chok advocates for migrant worker rights

Stephanie Chok, the executive director of the Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics (HOME), has transitioned from a career in lifestyle journalism to intensive advocacy for migrant workers' rights.

Chok has spent nearly two decades supporting migrant workers, including playing a key role in the legal case of Indonesian domestic worker Parti Liyani. Her work involves addressing issues such as recruitment fees, work-life boundaries, and the legal status of domestic helpers. Chok noted the difficulty of separating her professional advocacy from her private life, stating she often feels unable to switch off from the distress she observes in the migrant community.
