Part 6/12:
The stories of women like Sunny and Vinnie highlight the emotional and physical toll of their circumstances. Sunny, a domestic helper in Singapore, discovered she was pregnant unexpectedly with her husband's child, an unplanned pregnancy occurring during her leave home. Her situation was complicated because, under Singaporean law, pregnant helpers are at risk of being sent back to their home countries, which would mean losing income and facing social stigma. She decided to terminate her contract early and left for Indonesia, where she stayed in a shelter for pregnant migrant workers, choosing to hide her pregnancy rather than seek an illegal abortion.
