Taipei, May 2 (CNA) More than 100 migrant domestic workers staged a rally in Taipei on Sunday, calling for better protection of their rights and welfare, ahead of Mother's Day.
The workers, many of them mothers from the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam, said legal protection is what they would like as a gift for Mother's Day, which falls on May 9.
"We are not robots," "We need rest," "Household work is work and deserves legal protections," they chanted at the rally in front of the Cabinet building.
