    Two domestic helpers who had worked in Hong Kong for over 20 years filed a lawsuit appealing for permanent residency status, which was denied by the final court. While the specific reasons for the decision are uncertain, the denial of permanent residency to domestic helpers who have lived and worked in Hong Kong for many years suggests an unfair treatment and social exclusion of this group. Protesters were dissatisfied with the judge's refusal to grant the domestic helpers the right to permanent residency.

    The refused right to permanent residency

    Domestic helpers in Hong Kong are not treated like normal citizens in Hong Kong, not even foreigners who
    have a working visa in Hong Kong. Instead, they have to live with their employers during their service, and
    they have to return to their home country within 14 days if they are no longer employed. Two domestic
    helpers who worked in Hong Kong for over 20 years considered this policy unfair, and they filed a lawsuit
    regarding their application for permanent residency, which was carried to the Final Court. However, the judge
    refused their right to do so. The reasons behind this decision remains uncertain, but the idea that the deny
    of permanent residency of domestic helpers shows or is due to the unfair treatment to and the social
    exclusion of domestic helpers is suggested.
