Read all newsWKWSCI Final-Year Students Apply Communication Skills to Advocate Fair Employment Practices for Foreign Domestic Workers
Four final-year students from the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information (WKWSCI) have demonstrated how communication training can translate into real-world impact through Maid of Honour, a Final Year Project focused on promoting fair employment practices for foreign domestic workers (FDWs) in Singapore.
Developed by Meg-Gayle Dean, Freya Low Yi, Trinity Lim, and Rachel Tan, the project draws on skills cultivated at WKWSCI, including research, strategic communication, storytelling, and audience engagement. Through these competencies, the team designed a multi-platform campaign that raises awareness of challenges faced by FDWs and encourages more informed and empathetic employer practices.
Created in collaboration with the Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (HOME), Maid of Honour takes the form of a public exhibition hosted at Jurong Regional Library, alongside a digital campaign comprising a website with long-form narratives, social media content featuring public street interviews, and a forthcoming podcast episode produced with creative agency WriteHaus Asia. Together, these elements reflect how students are taught to translate research insights into accessible and impactful communication across formats.
The exhibition was officially opened by West Coast–Jurong West GRC MP Hamid Razak and has garnered media attention, including coverage by The Straits Times and Our Parenting World. These features underscore the relevance of the students’ work in sparking public conversation about care, dignity, and fair labour practices.
Maid of Honour highlights how WKWSCI’s curriculum equips students to move beyond theoretical learning, applying communication strategies to engage thoughtfully with complex social issues and contribute meaningfully to the community.
