The reported case of a Taiwanese employer forcing three Muslim workers from Indonesia to eat pork drove labour activists and migrant workers to the streets to demand respect for their religious freedom. Rallying in front of the Bureau of Consular Affairs, 21 Indonesian caregivers appealed to their Taiwanese employers to respect their religious practices. In addition to being forced to eat the forbidden meat, many workers also complained that their employers do not give them enough time to perform salat – the obligatory prayer required by all Muslim adults five times a day – or allow them to observe Ramadan. The protesters said they have suffered discrimination for many years.
