Young women from one country going to another to work in someone's home, isolated, without proper resources, or working conditions. Apparently, domestic workers all over the world do not fall under the same labor laws as anything else and subsequently suffer working around the clock, no pay, sometimes enduring sexual abuse, and having their passports essentially stolen by their employers, having absolutely no one to turn to. I could go on about the horrors of the situation these young women are put into often through misrepresentation or coersion. It's amazing and saddening what human beings will do to one another or tolerate someone else doing to another human. sigh.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13927208604806225309noreply@blogger.com
