Eny Bawse was just 15 years old when she started working as a domestic worker in Jakarta, Indonesia. Over the past 20 years, she was so busy taking care of others that she often forgot about her own well-being. When Eny realised she was suffering from depression in 2018, she began a tough journey in a city where few mental health professionals catered to her community. In this episode of Listen to Her, Eny sits down with Post reporter Lisa Cam and explains why she started a group to help some of Hong Kong’s more than 338,000 domestic helpers deal with their mental health struggles.

My condolences to the millions of Hongkongers 🇭🇰 who struggle with mental health depression after being brutally crushed by the 3vil Chinese regime 🇨🇳
A lot of Indonesian domestic helper in Hong Kong. I pray for their health and happiness. They're work so hard and so often isn't for themselves but fo their family at home. ❤ (Sorry for broken English, not my first language)
Ghajwa e PaKimaaki! 🤔
Quite a terrible communicator. I feel sorry for the clients spending their scant spare time with her.
Condolences to those who struggle with mental health. It may sound off topic but I chanced on this cool translator that does everything and more of what a translator should have, name is Immersive Translate. Thank me later, it's gold.
Glad this is being addressed!
