“We can choose to change by changing our own life.” Our first guest of I’migrant podcast is Eni Lestari, a prominent migrant workers’ rights advocate based in Hong Kong. She tells her story about her own experience as a migrant worker from Indonesia, organising and empowering fellow domestic workers, breaking fears and building international solidarity.

Driven by the need to support her family following the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, Eni left Indonesia to become a domestic worker 21 years ago. A victim of labour abuses by her employers and agencies, she became an activist advocating for better protection and empowerment of migrant workers.  From a migrant domestic worker suffering labour rights violation to an internationally known change maker, she takes us to her road to empowerment.
