Many migrant women go to work in private homes as cleaners, cooks and caretakers. They are called domestic workers. Recently, several incidents in Asia and the Middle East have brought attention to abuse of these workers. A court in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia sentenced a married couple to death in March for starving to death a 26-year-old Indonesian domestic worker.
Another Indonesian maid, 23-year-old Erwiana Sulistyaningsih says she was abused as a worker in a home in Hong Kong. She spent almost a month in a hospital receiving treatment for her injuries. Pictures of those injuries and reports of her 20-hour workdays caused national anger.
The International Labor Organization, or ILO is a United Nations agency. It suggests there are 50 million homeworkers globally. Around 5 million Indonesian women worked in other countries last year. They sent almost $10 billion back to their families. [20] But labor rights supporters say these migrant workers can be targets of abuse.
In Saudi Arabia, 42 Indonesians are awaiting death sentences. Half of them are believed to be domestic workers. [21] Darsem Tawar faced a death sentence in 2011 for killing her employer. She argued that he was raping her at the time. Officials changed her sentence only after her supporters paid the family of the dead man.
Archana Kotecha is a legal expert at the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Liberty Asia. [22] She says labor export can become similar to human trafficking, especially in developing countries like Bangladesh and Burma, also known as Myanmar.
Questions 20 to 22 are based on the recording you have just heard.
20.What worries labor rights supporters?
21.How did Darsem Tawar survive from death?
22.What can we know about labor export?
