Some of Hong Kong’s boldest domestic helpers slugged it out at the Muay Thai Fighters Club One-Day Tournament on Boxing Day on December 26, 2021. The showcase event is meant to empower one of the city’s most overlooked communities, with most of the participants having spent their Sundays, their only days off, for several months to train for the tournament. A local Muay Thai gym has been offering the helpers low-cost classes as well as a venue to socialise with their community and de-stress as Covid-19 has limited their activities and prevented most from being able to travel to their home countries to visit families.
