I just don't understand how you can look into the eyes of another human being and treat them like this. Someone who helps you in your most private part, your house. Someone who is close to your kids, who is kind off family, even though you are their employer. How can you do this to a human who is close to you? I feel so ashamed
I started out feeling bad for her then, she's the one who let all this happen to her as she let herself to be the "breadwinner". YOU are the priority, not your daughter, not anyone else. It does not make sense when she said she would not visit her family (daughter in particular) after all these years apart and she's supposedly "free" now.
@@rookeeho7587 Hey, no need to bring the President in this. If you are a Filipino, you know how the people are in the Philippines and if you are NOT, then you don't know anything about the Philippines. So just, shhhhhhhhhh......
I hope that someday the Philippines will get back on its feet again so working overseas will no longer be a necessity for many Filipinos. My heart goes to all Filipinos and other overseas workers who have sacrificed so much just to provide for their family.
As much as I feel sorry for my fellow countrymen and to those who are struggling OFW, the government is the one who needs to put their feet on the ground. Such a shitty and corrupt government. They favor those who are in privilege while the others stayed in their place.
Yeah it’s starting to pick up :) The economy is looking good at the moment and the Government is actually starting to build important infrastructure needed to develop the country. But the Philippine economy is a bit weird since there are lots of Agricultural jobs (that nobody wants) and lots of Service jobs (that requires highly skilled workers). The Philippines lack any real Industrial jobs which makes is the important type of job for a developing economy. The Philippines is in no way near running out of Skilled workers (hence why it exports them via OFW’s) so it’s ok to keep Service jobs growing but for the country to succeed, it needs Industry jobs that the poorer in society go to and get lifted out of poverty. That’s probably why there’s a growing wealth gap between the wealthy and the poor... The poor have nothing but agricultural or low service jobs- both types are relatively unattractive for poorer people so they don’t get the jobs they need to get lifted out of poverty. Whilst the rich becomes richer from the privileged of affording high education and working on high service and quaternary-research jobs. If the Philippines really wanted to become developed, it needs to grow its industrial capability. No country has actually developed via a service based economy. All had to undergo a period of industrial based economy to get developed.
the philippine government is full of shit, because they are too lazy to create more jobs. they can't solve the problem of unemployment so that's why they are encouraging many filipinos to work overseas.. they even label ofw's as the countries modern heroes, for me that's the most dumbest shit i ever heard.. these ofw's are serving in other country, and they decided to work for more salary so that they can feed their family, that;s the first thing that comes in their mind when they decided to work abroad. they did not do it for the country but for themselves and their family..
Snipethemapples every race had slaves, the only reason white people having black slaves is so significant, is because they were driven out their home with no mercy. Sold like a product. While slaves in their mother land were raised to be a slave, or gained the title by punishment, or they probably worked off debt that way. Black people had no choice, and even kings and queens were forced to bow down to the foreign slave masters. Not saying that slavery is okay as long as its your own race, its just that whenever someone brings up slavery, another person comes and says, "Well black people had slaves first so..." it gets quite annoying
I had a nanny from a South East Asian country as a child, Mira. I remember that she would sing me lullabies, fix my scrapes and bruises and was attentive to my every need. My parents were busy and she was my only source of attention and the only one who cared enough about me to patiently correct me as I misbehaved. Not once did she ever raise her voice or behave with anything less than a quiet calm. My parents didn't abuse her, but they would sometimes make sharp comments to her or talk like she wasn't there. Sometimes she would tell me about her own children who were similar in age to me. She left my family when I was old enough to be shipped off to school and went back home. Looking back I can't have imagined any other reason for her to be so far away from home taking care of a child not her own and dealing with my parents, than the simple need to survive and make sure her family would be able to live. I can't believe people would take the honest care some of these women offer and abuse it in such a way.
Ching Min Indonesia I think, she left when I was around 8 or so. I really hope that she's living happily and well or if she's still working as a nanny that she's found herself in a good situation.
i was pretty much raised by my filipina housemaids when i was a child since my mom was neglectful. they were all so kind and loving, i have only fond memories of them. it angers me so much to hear of stories of abuse towards housemaids.
"..be brave, ..and don't do anything bad." Amazing person and much respect to this beautiful lady. A lot of people and cultures would've wanted revenge, violence, payback.. but not her.
Name and shame and prosecute these 'employers'!!!!!! The mind bogles how one human being can treat so badly another that lives with them and takes care of them. Such people are the worst of the worst.
Erin Mills ive been working as an OFW for about 10years now. Left my son with my parents when he was a year and a half. Luckily today we have internet and i can communicate more than before. I can video call them when i want. Its hard but being a singlemom and support the family you have to sacrifice. Family needs is important especially money to survive. :-(
Erin Mills I have come across a few that do this and I also know a few that saved all the money they could and their child came when a place is gotten to live and money put away for childs needs, quite amazing really, very determined to make a better life for themselves, their family.
My mom's an OFW and she comes back every 2 years but it only lasts around a week before she goes back. But recently, she didn't come back. It's been a couple years now.
you cant justify such behaviour with “being rich”. lets take singapore for example. theyre one of the richest countries in the world. but u dont see the rich mistreating their helpers like that. its mostly the poorer people who have a superiority complex lol.
EXACTLY!!! ANIMAL IS THE TERM IN FACT WILD ANIMAL its a disrespect to dogs and cat if we compare those arab employers to them. THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS BY THE WAY the reputation of arab.
It was fortunate that she escaped. But what happened to her abusers? Someone needs to take them to court, otherwise, the cycle will continue for the next victim.
I'm also from the Philippines and had worked in a restaurant in Dubai. Generally, the whole country is safe and beautiful. But working there is different. Before I flew, I know and checked their laws that it's illegal for the employer to get ones passport. As soon as we got there, they held our passports. We have our accommodation and free meals. But I know in the first place something's not right. There are lots of migrant workers out there (whom mostly are from India and South Asia). Their life is much worse than ours. Have no decent accommodation, work overtime, some even sleep on the toilet and not so clean food. Whenever I visit a grocery store, I sometimes see a Filipina maid, following her master everywhere wearing their pink uniforms. I don't see smiles on their faces. I just want to approach and comfort them and say "let's just go back to our land" but I can't. 😢 I resigned after 6 months and didn't finished my 2 years contract. I just realized that is not my fate.
James oh thats so sad 😟... no wonder whenever i see some employees working in dubai ..They seem serious..like exhausted or unhappy... and i always wonder why.. Thats just horrible... The Arabs need to treat the workers better.. I understand that slaves are not being treated fairly too.. i always see maids that come along with other families and they seem soo sad .. No human is the slave of another..God had made us all equal..and we deserve to be treated equally too.. Not to mention that during Ramadan, they arent allowed to eat infront of Muslims.. im a Muslim myself and i feel like thats totally unfair.. why dont they just put up some sort of barriers or something that will block the view of the food court and allow the ones who arent Muslims to eat there..or at least let the employees eat.. I dont mind if they do eat in Ramadan tbh.. The Arabs also have imposed very strict rules..
James Despite the strict rules, i can agree that its a safe place to work.. Alot of Chinese people are living here in Pakistan and getting alot of help too and some work here too and are treated with respect but its kinda risky because of safety issues .
Squishylavender 909 yes. They still have to realize not because they hired maids to work with them, they should treat them like robots.. They are also humans, they starve, they get tired they also need some personal space... Especially in Kuwait, there are a lot of Filipino maids who are getting abused (either physically, verbally and even sexually).. Though there are also nice employers, but I seldom hear about them... Now, the government imposed a ban of sending OFW's (new workers) to Kuwait..
Squishylavender 909 maybe their reason for not allowing everyone to eat during ramadan, is because that's their land, everyone must abide by the rules though you're muslim or not.. Though UAE is an open country, they're still strict when it comes to that... It's good that migrant workers in your country is treated well, plus I think it's the fact that they are working professionally..
James This is so true. I lived there for a huge chunk of my life. Growing up, I thought the discrimination thrown because of my way made me think this was normal. I thought that while working under them, facing such behaviour and sometimes having them violate our rights was just the way things were and theres nothing to be done about it. But these workers don't deserve this no matter what. I wish the issues immigrants face in the middle east gets far more coverage than its getting.
love how they do not mention Arab once in order to be politically correct. They don't even bother to name the Arab country she was working originally (UAE)
They will never get put in jail. If they have enough money to pay for servants, they have enough money to pay their way out of any criminal conviction.
Um, Someone PLEASE tell me she has a go fund me so those of us with charity to offer, can do that for her. Spirits be kind, bless this woman and her family. No one deserves to be treated as an animal.
I just want to say to women like her: do NOT go to work as a maid in an Arab country. Plz do your research and know that you can expect absolutely everything. The horror and indignity that can await you is only seconded by the fact that you are trapped and there are zero laws to protect you. Zero. Zerrrrroooo.
when the alternative is starving children, or worse, making her own children go through trash to make a few pesos for a bit of rice and sleeping in the streets. Its a risk a lot of filipinos take for a better life for their families.
Agree...look for other means to support your family...rather risking your life to this evil people...your salary cannot even support your family if you think so...
Idk why my comment got deleted. I just want to say not all Middle Easterns are evil. This attitude of assuming they're all going to mistreat their workers is very destructive. You can find good people and abusive people anywhere in the world
what are you talking about?? There are laws that support maids and yes her case was bad but what the family mad was ILLEGAL. See there are laws because they can't take her passport.
Why are people so afraid to say that these kind of barbaric attitude is predominantly visibile in the islamic countries. Too much of political correctness.
Too many employers here in Middle East are like her employer. But here often they Pray but don't know the true meaning of God in their lives. God is love and justice.
Most Arabs have no empathy towards those they feel beneath them. Look at what they are doing in Qatar to bonded workers from India. Throw enough death and suffering at a project and eventually it will get done. Coming from a Commonwealth country I would like to fight for these people, but I know that I'm powerless.
I had a foreign maid at my house. My family always taught me to respect her. When I was a little child, if I called her a name, my parents would force me to bow to apologize her. I always thought that most of other families did this, but apparently....
She's earning lots of money when it's translated back into Filipino money. I bet she's laughing it up now, she works much much less than she did when she was a slave, and now gets paid what is essentially a doctor's wage back in her own country. She said she's happy, so i have no reason to disbelieve that.
Lucas Fernandez Some aspects of our lives have specks of Western culture but we're overall Asian by culture and location. Philippines is in SOUTHEAST ASIA
I know people who have gone to work in Arab countries (KSA and Qatar) and returned broken, deranged and poorer than when they left because their Arab employers refused to pay them on top raping them repeatedly and mentally and physically abusing them. These people were lucky to return considering those who died at the hands of their employers.
Tears jumped from my eyes, these Filipino workers are truly hero's for their family , they sacrifice everything for them. And that is without slavery , bless her
Since both of my parents are busy, we have a few maid through out my life. All of them are respectful and honestly are freaking kind! and also good at cooking. Heck, I even prefer some of their food then my own mum (srry mum). Right now, we have a maid from the Philipphines, I called her aunty and we love to gossip and watch anime together. My parent give all kind of things for her and her family. Whenever we go to a vacation we always bring her along.
When I was in Dubai with my cousin I have met with a guy in the restaurant while were having lunch there was a Arab guy was next to us he was so polite he even paid our bills out of nowhere I was so amazed anyway we had convo and he invited me and my cousin for a dinner we arrived next day and there was African maid she was so lovely but whenever I tried to talk to her she was like running away from me it was very suspicious ! Then this guy was keep shouting to maid non stop prepare the table. Where is the forks you stupid etc. I was shocked !!! He didn’t stop there didn’t. Let her rest even while we are having food !! He was clearly abusing her !!!! I cried and left the place !
@@thetempestlilac3599 I was a muslim like you until I read the quran. Too bad Muhammad loved their slave sex and his hand possessed back then. read : An - NIsa 24-25, Al-Ahzab 50
I know it’s true because it happens in parts of Saudi Arabia, Brazil, UK, Singapore, Russia, parts of the USA, Egypt, Mexico, India, Thailand, Vietnam, France, ect...., its just sad seeing them talk about it! They deserve better than this!!
A lot of chinese especially, in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Chinese areas i would say, hire maids. And yes, my aunt hired a lot before, its obviously labour exploitation, they are underpaid, cannot go out, and she even kept their passport away. This slavery should really stop.
I was once a victim myself (I’m now a year and two months free) the pain is very real everything she said made me cry and what hurt the most was that it was done by my own family I managed to get hold of a computer and text the police and they helped me by ramming through the door because they would not let me out. It’s really sad. I’m now living a good life and it’s sad that I thought it was normal being treated bad because I did not know any better
Theyre 100% arabs and i say this as an arab lol. Its disgusting how people from the arab gulf (oil producing countries) are like. I feel so bad for everybody from the poor asian counties who work here. Im so sorry.
you cant blame them (the maids). there is less job in indonesia and philipines especially with uneducated and no skil person because they are born poor...and most of them dont even go to school. become a maids in rich country like malaysia, singapore, HK and mid east countries is the best choice for them, even if they come illegally.. they need to feed their family.
I've Been working overseas as a housemaid for 15yrs now, different countries and families I work with. This abuses mostly happens in Middle East, I once worked in Kuwait, passport been taken, no day off, not allowed to talk to anyone specially men, have to wear housemaid uniforms all the time, even if your with them in the supermarkets or mall, hotels or parks as I have kids to take care of, the Eldest son once told us, 'his shoes are more valuable than us' that hits me to the soul. He will even intentionally spread his poop in the bathroom"s wall. It's not that easy working outside the country. You have to be strong physically and mentally all the time.
Most helpers are dedicated, loyal, and hardworking Filipinos and that's the tea! So many are victims of this awful mistreatment and all these helpers want to do is work their assets off to send money and help their families at home. Her story is so sad like many others. Sending her good karma.
I must admit i am from one of these countries that "Employ" people from Philippines, Indonesia, India, Pakistan as well as other countries working as maids, drivers and various other sectors and i see the way that people treat them so cruelly and inhumanly, some so badly treated, so badly that if you heard half of the stories you will have chills. they dont treat employees of what ever kind, as human beings, even when calling them. Racism so bad so much worse than America. it disgust me the amount of mistreatment that is happening but I cant really change the way people think or behave and i personally do not condemn any of their behavior and be quick to point out the mistreatment they are slaves to their employers and the society thinks nothing of it, and does not see it as a problem I wish that i can change the way people think and behave but I can't, what i can do is fight against this discrimination and side with the oppressed, i will do whatever i can to advocate for this and support those in need of my help I will not deny the mistreatment and will not stand for it
Just when people say they abide the teachings of their "religion" and yet they treat others worst than an animal. Time will come, everything will change and it will be for the better. Just keep holding on.
Her story is so heart breaking and she didn't deserve what happened to her. But you have to understand that what those people did to her goes against many rules in islam, and her suffering by them is absolutely unacceptable in islam, you have to understand that there are of course in each group there are different types of people. And their actions do not represent the other people within that group. They did something very very wronv, and as a muslim I hope theg had to deal with consequences.
I think some people misunderstood what this comment meant. Hell, maybe I did. Anyways, what I understood is that people in this part of the world claim to abide by their religion, yet they treat people badly. I don’t think the commenter said anything about religion being the cause of this. It’s just that a LOT of people are total hypocrites.
I am a single mom of a 3 cute children. I have so many nannies from a different places in the Philippines. I am very thankful that they are around when I needed help. They are my best friend as they are the one who understand my situation . All my 3 kids are already graduated in College and I am very thankful to God for what they have achieved. They've grow up very respectful to their nanny. Everything they ate ,they always share it to their nanny. My eldest is now working in one of the leading bank in the world. And the 2 are helping me in our own company. When I put up my own business I started to look for them one by one. Some have their families already. I helped them as part of my gratefulness......
In Qatar where I used to live this happened a lot. People from South Asia would be promised a great job to support their family but instead their passport was taken away from them by their employers and they worked in terrifying conditions like construction in the middle of the day even if it was 50°C. They were given almost nothing and they have to live in embassies. Some die from heatstroke etc. it's heartless and cruel, all for money, greed and the World Cup in 2022.
See Min Lim ok I understand where you are coming from. But like what if that country has a lot of people treated like this. (I think I know where this lady works, like I have an idea) Nobody can judge a whole race/religion/country on a couple of cases. But why hide where this happened?
The sad story of filipino ofw's. Can't look at her in the eye as a fellow human being and filipino. I'm really sorry that I'm still so young and can't help people rn but I promise that I will when I can. I'm really sorry madammm
I saw when I was on the market a women and her “helper/maid” and the helper saw a nice dress and the women saw that and bought it for her it madeeee myyyy hearttt just soooo warmmmmm and happyyyyyyyyyy (:
The people who enslaved and abused her need to be thrown in a pit of lava. I’m so glad this lady was able to escape and wish her all the best, but how many other women are being used as slaves in the world right now?! Something has to change.
i'm almost in tears. Same situation in HK, or even worse. Erwiana Sulistyaningsih is not an exceptional case here in HK, May God bless all the domestic helpers, who work oversea just to earn a better living for their family at home country, with persistance and stamina, and HOPE
I'm a Filipino myself and I couldn't imagine how she was treated like an animal of her own fellow citizen. As a Filipino we know the struggles our kababayan is facing, I dont understand why her lady boss treated her that way when she knows exactly the feeling because shes a filipina herself. Being away from ur family to earn money is not a joke. I hope u find a nice job and a better boss. God is always with you🙏
So heartbreaking! I had a friend from the Philippines about 7 years ago who also worked as a housemaid but in the UAE, and she basically described a similar situation as this woman and she said she couldn't escape. Unfortunately, I lost contact with her not long after.
God Bless you, Mitos. I remember back in college I had to to conduct an interview in OWWA, a government agency where aspiring Overseas Filipino Workers are given orientation about the country they'll be working at. I learned that these housemaid get only $240/ month. From this amount, more than half goes to the agency, they keep very little for themselves, then they send all the remaining money to their family. Imagine how little money was that for all the insults, hunger, loneliness, and pain they had to endure. Some even get sent home dead, brutally killed by their employer. The most horrible story I've read was a Filipino maid over 50 years old who was working in the middle east was found dead with a cucumber on her ***. A dead body with cucumber on her ***! So cruel. That's an old woman who deserve respect and was only there to make ends meet. Most of these maids are moms- they have kids at home barely eating anything and getting the right education because the country is also poor. Guys, it won't do you any good to hurt other people. Just. Be. Kind. Karma's just around the corner.
This is unacceptable. When I read Antiemetic for Homesickness byRomalyn Ante, I felt so much compassion for Filipino overseas workers. Your story is heard. Thank you for sharing
When I used to live in Dubai, I would see and hear about so many female maids who were treated no better than slaves. I always wished I could do something to help them, but there was always the fear of being deported. So I am very glad the situation of these workers is coming to light now...
This is very normal in all the Arab countries!! 90% of household workers has this kind of life there. And I was one of that 90%. I was that my employers took me anywhere they go for vacation or even the madam will take me with her and the kids when she go out. And that's the only time I can go out as well because day off wasn't allowed. On the first year I received $200 monthly salary and $350 after 2 years that was way back in 2010-2014
when she come back into PH she wasn't able to feed her child or support their basic needs. lot of filipino go abroad because the salary in the PH is so low.When you're a maid in Philippines maybe your monthly salary is around PHP3000 to 4000 ($50).Its all about the family that they are thinking thats why lot of filipinos is tough enough to endure all the pain and make sacrifices.We call them OFW or overseas filipino worker and they had a huge role on our economy.So sad that even they had contributed so well to our economy government still doesn't have enough care and support for them.Sad truth ,sorry for wrong grammar. Fudge poverty ,fudge government ,fudge life
This breaks my heart. How can you treat a person bad without even looking at their eyes first and yet feeling no compassion at all? Not even once? A man with heart and no compassion can do this..
bro we need the government to stop this from happening its so heartbreaking to see a filipino woman (im filipino) getting abused like that its just not fair she's even trying to be nice to them im so glad that she escaped
I xperience the same😭😭😭this is so heart breaking..i work as a domestic helper in Qatar nd it was like a living hell working in a country were u cant feel respect nd never treated like a human being💔😭
I'm living in Cyprus and they have the exact same system, using "domestic worker" as a sugar coat for slavery, I heard so many stories and knowing there's nothing I can do to help is heartbreaking
I'm so happy that you are free now. I respect you, your strength inspires me. My mother in law was a maid abroad too, she had to work extremely hard. I root for you 💕
All i see in her eyes is sadness and emptiness, nothing else. What have they done to this poor soul, good to see her free and i hope she is with her daughter now and they both are happy!
It is actually very common in HK and in India. Housemaid room, if any, is quite shitty. I know this bcuz even in the Embassy of India diplomat's houses are constructed this way (Senior officers). HK too, some apartments are constructed that way. Not a place for a human being to work or live.
My family had a maid back when we were in Hong Kong, to be honest it was really common among families in Hong Kong. Really though, some families treat their maids like crap, you can tell they just need to money in order to continue... it’s sad that this is still happening...
Mycroft Holmes Servants and maids should always be shown respect, after all, even though you're paying, they are serving you. They should be allowed decent sleep, food, and should always be shown gratitude.
She is an educated woman but poverty and lack of opportunities in our country forced her to go overseas to work as a modern day slave. Stories like this is very common in the Philippines and i pray that one day those who are working in the government will be bothered and work with their conscience.

I just don't understand how you can look into the eyes of another human being and treat them like this. Someone who helps you in your most private part, your house. Someone who is close to your kids, who is kind off family, even though you are their employer. How can you do this to a human who is close to you? I feel so ashamed

I hope that someday the Philippines will get back on its feet again so working overseas will no longer be a necessity for many Filipinos. My heart goes to all Filipinos and other overseas workers who have sacrificed so much just to provide for their family.
As much as I feel sorry for my fellow countrymen and to those who are struggling OFW, the government is the one who needs to put their feet on the ground. Such a shitty and corrupt government. They favor those who are in privilege while the others stayed in their place.
Yeah it’s starting to pick up :) The economy is looking good at the moment and the Government is actually starting to build important infrastructure needed to develop the country.
But the Philippine economy is a bit weird since there are lots of Agricultural jobs (that nobody wants) and lots of Service jobs (that requires highly skilled workers).

The Philippines is in no way near running out of Skilled workers (hence why it exports them via OFW’s) so it’s ok to keep Service jobs growing but for the country to succeed, it needs Industry jobs that the poorer in society go to and get lifted out of poverty. That’s probably why there’s a growing wealth gap between the wealthy and the poor... The poor have nothing but agricultural or low service jobs- both types are relatively unattractive for poorer people so they don’t get the jobs they need to get lifted out of poverty. Whilst the rich becomes richer from the privileged of affording high education and working on high service and quaternary-research jobs.
If the Philippines really wanted to become developed, it needs to grow its industrial capability. No country has actually developed via a service based economy. All had to undergo a period of industrial based economy to get developed.

Christian Villanueva the lure of higher wage due to high value of foreign currency is so tempting.
the philippine government is full of shit, because they are too lazy to create more jobs. they can't solve the problem of unemployment so that's why they are encouraging many filipinos to work overseas.. they even label ofw's as the countries modern heroes, for me that's the most dumbest shit i ever heard.. these ofw's are serving in other country, and they decided to work for more salary so that they can feed their family, that;s the first thing that comes in their mind when they decided to work abroad. they did not do it for the country but for themselves and their family..

Snipethemapples every race had slaves, the only reason white people having black slaves is so significant, is because they were driven out their home with no mercy. Sold like a product. While slaves in their mother land were raised to be a slave, or gained the title by punishment, or they probably worked off debt that way. Black people had no choice, and even kings and queens were forced to bow down to the foreign slave masters.
Not saying that slavery is okay as long as its your own race, its just that whenever someone brings up slavery, another person comes and says, "Well black people had slaves first so..." it gets quite annoying

I had a nanny from a South East Asian country as a child, Mira. I remember that she would sing me lullabies, fix my scrapes and bruises and was attentive to my every need. My parents were busy and she was my only source of attention and the only one who cared enough about me to patiently correct me as I misbehaved. Not once did she ever raise her voice or behave with anything less than a quiet calm. My parents didn't abuse her, but they would sometimes make sharp comments to her or talk like she wasn't there. Sometimes she would tell me about her own children who were similar in age to me. She left my family when I was old enough to be shipped off to school and went back home. Looking back I can't have imagined any other reason for her to be so far away from home taking care of a child not her own and dealing with my parents, than the simple need to survive and make sure her family would be able to live. I can't believe people would take the honest care some of these women offer and abuse it in such a way.
where is she?
Ching Min Indonesia I think, she left when I was around 8 or so. I really hope that she's living happily and well or if she's still working as a nanny that she's found herself in a good situation.
Same. I had a nanny her name was candy. She hated going out. Loved eating noodles and watching tv with me.
@@raynelee6255 look her up on Facebook or Insta talk to her aging I would to check.up on her if i were u
@Neena they should track her down and give her thanks
i was pretty much raised by my filipina housemaids when i was a child since my mom was neglectful. they were all so kind and loving, i have only fond memories of them. it angers me so much to hear of stories of abuse towards housemaids.
"..be brave, ..and don't do anything bad." Amazing person and much respect to this beautiful lady. A lot of people and cultures would've wanted revenge, violence, payback.. but not her.
This is disgusting. I hope she has enough money to return to the Philippines with her love ones. Stay strong! 💪✊
Hi she wants her family to come to her, which was the whole reason she left.
Name and shame and prosecute these 'employers'!!!!!! The mind bogles how one human being can treat so badly another that lives with them and takes care of them. Such people are the worst of the worst.
I think poison might have made it's way into the food, clothes, bedding and such if i had been her.
blazednlovinit really you would have poisoned them? Stabbing is so much easier probably I mean poisoning requires poison but all kitchens have knifes
As a lady, maybe I'd feel more bold serving them all poison than taking on a family in knife combat.
well if wanna make it look like you didn't killed them... the less mess, with very little evidence as possible to make like an accident
Her daughter! I can't imagine what it would be like to leave my daughter and not see her for 4 years
Erin Mills ive been working as an OFW for about 10years now. Left my son with my parents when he was a year and a half. Luckily today we have internet and i can communicate more than before. I can video call them when i want. Its hard but being a singlemom and support the family you have to sacrifice. Family needs is important especially money to survive. :-(
Erin Mills I have come across a few that do this and I also know a few that saved all the money they could and their child came when a place is gotten to live and money put away for childs needs, quite amazing really, very determined to make a better life for themselves, their family.
My mom's an OFW and she comes back every 2 years but it only lasts around a week before she goes back.
But recently, she didn't come back. It's been a couple years now.
most filipinos do. they work outside philippines just to earn money and give their family a better future
We people from third world countries have to do it often to get some extra money working abroad alone.. it is very painful but we have to accept it...
I’m sure she was in one of the middle eastern countries. I’ve seen this. The rich Arab employers can sometimes be brutal and animalistic.
No just the rich, almost all arabs.
@@tauseefahmed5138 MOST* but 1 out of 100 are the only good ones who can treat their maid as a human.. YES ONLY 1% OUT OF 100 OF THEM
you cant justify such behaviour with “being rich”. lets take singapore for example. theyre one of the richest countries in the world. but u dont see the rich mistreating their helpers like that. its mostly the poorer people who have a superiority complex lol.
EXACTLY!!! ANIMAL IS THE TERM IN FACT WILD ANIMAL its a disrespect to dogs and cat if we compare those arab employers to them. THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS BY THE WAY the reputation of arab.
Is not just on Arab , a lot country dont have strict law for domestic worker thats why people still mistreat them .
As Filipino myself I almost cried watching this.. I just want to hug her.
I hope she finds a good job in UK :"(

I'm also from the Philippines and had worked in a restaurant in Dubai. Generally, the whole country is safe and beautiful.
But working there is different. Before I flew, I know and checked their laws that it's illegal for the employer to get ones passport. As soon as we got there, they held our passports. We have our accommodation and free meals. But I know in the first place something's not right. There are lots of migrant workers out there (whom mostly are from India and South Asia). Their life is much worse than ours. Have no decent accommodation, work overtime, some even sleep on the toilet and not so clean food.
Whenever I visit a grocery store, I sometimes see a Filipina maid, following her master everywhere wearing their pink uniforms. I don't see smiles on their faces. I just want to approach and comfort them and say "let's just go back to our land" but I can't. 😢
I resigned after 6 months and didn't finished my 2 years contract. I just realized that is not my fate.
James oh thats so sad 😟... no wonder whenever i see some employees working in dubai ..They seem serious..like exhausted or unhappy... and i always wonder why..
Thats just horrible... The Arabs need to treat the workers better.. I understand that slaves are not being treated fairly too.. i always see maids that come along with other families and they seem soo sad ..
No human is the slave of another..God had made us all equal..and we deserve to be treated equally too.. Not to mention that during Ramadan, they arent allowed to eat infront of Muslims.. im a Muslim myself and i feel like thats totally unfair.. why dont they just put up some sort of barriers or something that will block the view of the food court and allow the ones who arent Muslims to eat there..or at least let the employees eat.. I dont mind if they do eat in Ramadan tbh.. The Arabs also have imposed very strict rules..
James Despite the strict rules, i can agree that its a safe place to work..
Alot of Chinese people are living here in Pakistan and getting alot of help too and some work here too and are treated with respect but its kinda risky because of safety issues .
Squishylavender 909 yes.
They still have to realize not because they hired maids to work with them, they should treat them like robots.. They are also humans, they starve, they get tired they also need some personal space... Especially in Kuwait, there are a lot of Filipino maids who are getting abused (either physically, verbally and even sexually).. Though there are also nice employers, but I seldom hear about them... Now, the government imposed a ban of sending OFW's (new workers) to Kuwait..
Squishylavender 909 maybe their reason for not allowing everyone to eat during ramadan, is because that's their land, everyone must abide by the rules though you're muslim or not.. Though UAE is an open country, they're still strict when it comes to that...
It's good that migrant workers in your country is treated well, plus I think it's the fact that they are working professionally..
James This is so true. I lived there for a huge chunk of my life. Growing up, I thought the discrimination thrown because of my way made me think this was normal. I thought that while working under them, facing such behaviour and sometimes having them violate our rights was just the way things were and theres nothing to be done about it. But these workers don't deserve this no matter what. I wish the issues immigrants face in the middle east gets far more coverage than its getting.
This is pretty norm in the rich middle eastern countries where human rights doesn’t exist. Its like a matter of life and death due to poverty.
Yes 100%
Disgusting!
love how they do not mention Arab once in order to be politically correct. They don't even bother to name the Arab country she was working originally (UAE)
La France IKR!
I bet this exists everywhere else in the world...
that ONE arab family doesn’t portray hella lots of other arab families
La France exactly!! 🙄
baby boo no one said it does but they have to tell the truth
when can we put those people in jail for mistreating people who try to work for their families?
naaah, Arab government dont do that because they need to defend and cover their people not the victims.
They will never get put in jail. If they have enough money to pay for servants, they have enough money to pay their way out of any criminal conviction.

Um, Someone PLEASE tell me she has a go fund me so those of us with charity to offer, can do that for her. Spirits be kind, bless this woman and her family. No one deserves to be treated as an animal.
I agree, not even an animal itself
I just want to say to women like her: do NOT go to work as a maid in an Arab country. Plz do your research and know that you can expect absolutely everything. The horror and indignity that can await you is only seconded by the fact that you are trapped and there are zero laws to protect you. Zero. Zerrrrroooo.
when the alternative is starving children, or worse, making her own children go through trash to make a few pesos for a bit of rice and sleeping in the streets. Its a risk a lot of filipinos take for a better life for their families.
You are right on that!
Agree...look for other means to support your family...rather risking your life to this evil people...your salary cannot even support your family if you think so...
Idk why my comment got deleted. I just want to say not all Middle Easterns are evil. This attitude of assuming they're all going to mistreat their workers is very destructive. You can find good people and abusive people anywhere in the world
what are you talking about?? There are laws that support maids and yes her case was bad but what the family mad was ILLEGAL. See there are laws because they can't take her passport.
Why are people so afraid to say that these kind of barbaric attitude is predominantly visibile in the islamic countries. Too much of political correctness.

It's mostly rich Gulf Arabs whose money and power has made them think they are untouchable.
@@timaa.4379 somebody tell them this
Most Arabs have no empathy towards those they feel beneath them. Look at what they are doing in Qatar to bonded workers from India. Throw enough death and suffering at a project and eventually it will get done. Coming from a Commonwealth country I would like to fight for these people, but I know that I'm powerless.
I had a foreign maid at my house. My family always taught me to respect her. When I was a little child, if I called her a name, my parents would force me to bow to apologize her. I always thought that most of other families did this, but apparently....
She's still sacrificing herself... She should stop and care for herself, she needs. Go and see her family..!
She's earning lots of money when it's translated back into Filipino money. I bet she's laughing it up now, she works much much less than she did when she was a slave, and now gets paid what is essentially a doctor's wage back in her own country. She said she's happy, so i have no reason to disbelieve that.
Unfortunately... That's that one Western privilege most of the people in my country (Philippines) can't have...
Pat Monte the Phillipines is part of the U.S. so doesn't that make it a western country ?
Lucas Fernandez You got that wrong dear. We may be colonized by Spain, USA then Japan, we're independent and our own sovereign.
Lucas Fernandez Some aspects of our lives have specks of Western culture but we're overall Asian by culture and location. Philippines is in SOUTHEAST ASIA
this is common in Arab countries
I know people who have gone to work in Arab countries (KSA and Qatar) and returned broken, deranged and poorer than when they left because their Arab employers refused to pay them on top raping them repeatedly and mentally and physically abusing them. These people were lucky to return considering those who died at the hands of their employers.
They see south asian and pinoy maids as luxury items not equal humans or even slaves
dfgrh frhhg I know for a fact that this goes on in London and in Arab community like you say.
And Singapore
It happens in the UK, it’s sad seeing them going through all this
Tears jumped from my eyes, these Filipino workers are truly hero's for their family , they sacrifice everything for them. And that is without slavery , bless her
Since both of my parents are busy, we have a few maid through out my life. All of them are respectful and honestly are freaking kind! and also good at cooking. Heck, I even prefer some of their food then my own mum (srry mum). Right now, we have a maid from the Philipphines, I called her aunty and we love to gossip and watch anime together. My parent give all kind of things for her and her family. Whenever we go to a vacation we always bring her along.
we are all taught how to behave as human but no humanity is left except cheating human to human. i laugh how modern we are and not ashamed
God bless you and your family.
Wow slavery still exist then after reading comments, yeah ofc you pay them but it still is, only covered with money
Who dares do this?! Slavery in the modern day! I hope she is okay, and may God bless her soul forever.
Still, too many people are in her past position. She is only one example out of the millions of trafficked people. Very sad.
When I was in Dubai with my cousin I have met with a guy in the restaurant while were having lunch there was a Arab guy was next to us he was so polite he even paid our bills out of nowhere I was so amazed anyway we had convo and he invited me and my cousin for a dinner we arrived next day and there was African maid she was so lovely but whenever I tried to talk to her she was like running away from me it was very suspicious ! Then this guy was keep shouting to maid non stop prepare the table. Where is the forks you stupid etc. I was shocked !!! He didn’t stop there didn’t. Let her rest even while we are having food !! He was clearly abusing her !!!! I cried and left the place !

A lot of chinese especially, in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Chinese areas i would say, hire maids. And yes, my aunt hired a lot before, its obviously labour exploitation, they are underpaid, cannot go out, and she even kept their passport away. This slavery should really stop.
I was once a victim myself (I’m now a year and two months free) the pain is very real everything she said made me cry and what hurt the most was that it was done by my own family I managed to get hold of a computer and text the police and they helped me by ramming through the door because they would not let me out. It’s really sad. I’m now living a good life and it’s sad that I thought it was normal being treated bad because I did not know any better
Theyre 100% arabs and i say this as an arab lol. Its disgusting how people from the arab gulf (oil producing countries) are like. I feel so bad for everybody from the poor asian counties who work here. Im so sorry.
My country should stop sending people (mostly women) abroad to work illegally. It is so common in where I live it hurts.
you cant blame them (the maids). there is less job in indonesia and philipines especially with uneducated and no skil person because they are born poor...and most of them dont even go to school. become a maids in rich country like malaysia, singapore, HK and mid east countries is the best choice for them, even if they come illegally.. they need to feed their family.
Tucna Fucna
She did come legally, her passport was stolen on purpose so she could be exploited, read carefully.
When I heard her accent, I knew she was Filipino. This is a reality in our country and it really breaks my heart
I've Been working overseas as a housemaid for 15yrs now, different countries and families I work with. This abuses mostly happens in Middle East, I once worked in Kuwait, passport been taken, no day off, not allowed to talk to anyone specially men, have to wear housemaid uniforms all the time, even if your with them in the supermarkets or mall, hotels or parks as I have kids to take care of, the Eldest son once told us, 'his shoes are more valuable than us' that hits me to the soul. He will even intentionally spread his poop in the bathroom"s wall. It's not that easy working outside the country. You have to be strong physically and mentally all the time.

Most helpers are dedicated, loyal, and hardworking Filipinos and that's the tea! So many are victims of this awful mistreatment and all these helpers want to do is work their assets off to send money and help their families at home. Her story is so sad like many others. Sending her good karma.
I must admit i am from one of these countries that "Employ" people from Philippines, Indonesia, India, Pakistan as well as other countries working as maids, drivers and various other sectors and i see the way that people treat them so cruelly and inhumanly, some so badly treated, so badly that if you heard half of the stories you will have chills. they dont treat employees of what ever kind, as human beings, even when calling them. Racism so bad so much worse than America.
it disgust me the amount of mistreatment that is happening but I cant really change the way people think or behave and i personally do not condemn any of their behavior and be quick to point out the mistreatment
they are slaves to their employers and the society thinks nothing of it, and does not see it as a problem
I wish that i can change the way people think and behave but I can't, what i can do is fight against this discrimination and side with the oppressed, i will do whatever i can to advocate for this and support those in need of my help
I will not deny the mistreatment and will not stand for it

This is always happening in the middle east. Especially gulf countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Her story is so heart breaking and she didn't deserve what happened to her. But you have to understand that what those people did to her goes against many rules in islam, and her suffering by them is absolutely unacceptable in islam, you have to understand that there are of course in each group there are different types of people. And their actions do not represent the other people within that group. They did something very very wronv, and as a muslim I hope theg had to deal with consequences.
Stop blaming religion in everything this has nothing to do with it.
I think some people misunderstood what this comment meant. Hell, maybe I did. Anyways, what I understood is that people in this part of the world claim to abide by their religion, yet they treat people badly. I don’t think the commenter said anything about religion being the cause of this. It’s just that a LOT of people are total hypocrites.
I am a single mom of a 3 cute children. I have so many nannies from a different places in the Philippines. I am very thankful that they are around when I needed help. They are my best friend as they are the one who understand my situation . All my 3 kids are already graduated in College and I am very thankful to God for what they have achieved. They've grow up very respectful to their nanny. Everything they ate ,they always share it to their nanny. My eldest is now working in one of the leading bank in the world. And the 2 are helping me in our own company. When I put up my own business I started to look for them one by one. Some have their families already. I helped them as part of my gratefulness......
In Qatar where I used to live this happened a lot. People from South Asia would be promised a great job to support their family but instead their passport was taken away from them by their employers and they worked in terrifying conditions like construction in the middle of the day even if it was 50°C. They were given almost nothing and they have to live in embassies. Some die from heatstroke etc. it's heartless and cruel, all for money, greed and the World Cup in 2022.
I heard so many times about this story since i was a kid and mostly come from the middle east, i'm not stereotyping it's just the truth
Wondering why they didn’t say where she worked...
francis bonnafoy It says in the UK
gigi Bakir no, it says the family that she worked with went to the uk, no? Not that she was working in the uk
See Min Lim ok I understand where you are coming from.
But like what if that country has a lot of people treated like this. (I think I know where this lady works, like I have an idea)
Nobody can judge a whole race/religion/country on a couple of cases. But why hide where this happened?
Maybe they don't have a secret hidden agenda like you're implying and then just didn't feel the need to mention it?

The way her voice quivered is unnerving. So much respect. How can someone do this ? How can people be so cruel? How?
I was crying the whole time because I can feel her pain. 😭
this is so sad. when we had a full time helper in uae, she told me i was kind unlike her past employers.
i'm almost in tears. Same situation in HK, or even worse. Erwiana Sulistyaningsih is not an exceptional case here in HK, May God bless all the domestic helpers, who work oversea just to earn a better living for their family at home country, with persistance and stamina, and HOPE

This story moved me but I’m sorry to say the music was distracting and very distasteful.
So heartbreaking! I had a friend from the Philippines about 7 years ago who also worked as a housemaid but in the UAE, and she basically described a similar situation as this woman and she said she couldn't escape. Unfortunately, I lost contact with her not long after.
God Bless you, Mitos. I remember back in college I had to to conduct an interview in OWWA, a government agency where aspiring Overseas Filipino Workers are given orientation about the country they'll be working at. I learned that these housemaid get only $240/ month. From this amount, more than half goes to the agency, they keep very little for themselves, then they send all the remaining money to their family.
Imagine how little money was that for all the insults, hunger, loneliness, and pain they had to endure. Some even get sent home dead, brutally killed by their employer. The most horrible story I've read was a Filipino maid over 50 years old who was working in the middle east was found dead with a cucumber on her ***. A dead body with cucumber on her ***! So cruel. That's an old woman who deserve respect and was only there to make ends meet.
Most of these maids are moms- they have kids at home barely eating anything and getting the right education because the country is also poor. Guys, it won't do you any good to hurt other people. Just. Be. Kind. Karma's just around the corner.
This is unacceptable. When I read Antiemetic for Homesickness byRomalyn Ante, I felt so much compassion for Filipino overseas workers. Your story is heard. Thank you for sharing
When I used to live in Dubai, I would see and hear about so many female maids who were treated no better than slaves. I always wished I could do something to help them, but there was always the fear of being deported. So I am very glad the situation of these workers is coming to light now...
Why was there a "fear" from deportation? When treated like a slave, deportation to your home country is the best thing that can happen
This is very normal in all the Arab countries!! 90% of household workers has this kind of life there. And I was one of that 90%. I was that my employers took me anywhere they go for vacation or even the madam will take me with her and the kids when she go out. And that's the only time I can go out as well because day off wasn't allowed. On the first year I received $200 monthly salary and $350 after 2 years that was way back in 2010-2014
Glad that you escaped. Go home. Be with your family especially with your daughter..
when she come back into PH she wasn't able to feed her child or support their basic needs.
lot of filipino go abroad because the salary in the PH is so low.When you're a maid in Philippines maybe your monthly salary is around PHP3000 to 4000 ($50).Its all about the family that they are thinking thats why lot of filipinos is tough enough to endure all the pain and make sacrifices.We call them OFW or overseas filipino worker and they had a huge role on our economy.So sad that even they had contributed so well to our economy government still doesn't have enough care and support for them.Sad truth ,sorry for wrong grammar.
Fudge poverty ,fudge government ,fudge life
FRANTIC Vlog
She needs to make money though, to support her family.
I'm glad you escaped unfortunately some people never escape and it's not fair...

This breaks my heart. How can you treat a person bad without even looking at their eyes first and yet feeling no compassion at all? Not even once? A man with heart and no compassion can do this..
Wish you the best! You endured too much, and you deserve a good life ahead. Blessings!

I'm so happy that you are free now. I respect you, your strength inspires me. My mother in law was a maid abroad too, she had to work extremely hard. I root for you 💕
All i see in her eyes is sadness and emptiness, nothing else. What have they done to this poor soul, good to see her free and i hope she is with her daughter now and they both are happy!
It is actually very common in HK and in India. Housemaid room, if any, is quite shitty. I know this bcuz even in the Embassy of India diplomat's houses are constructed this way (Senior officers). HK too, some apartments are constructed that way. Not a place for a human being to work or live.
That hurts. It's terrible that in this day of age we still have this system of work force creeping in the shadows
This makes me sad as a Filipino, im grateful that I live in Australia and have all the freedom that I need.
My family had a maid back when we were in Hong Kong, to be honest it was really common among families in Hong Kong. Really though, some families treat their maids like crap, you can tell they just need to money in order to continue... it’s sad that this is still happening...
The maid in this video was enslaved, very different.
theo tryhard oh yes, thank god...
My mom worked in HK, she was treated like a sister by her boss and I'm glad she worked for that person instead😊

Servants and maids should always be shown respect, after all, even though you're paying, they are serving you. They should be allowed decent sleep, food, and should always be shown gratitude.
HK is not much different from UK!😁 Sameee
what a sad world we live in.
She is an educated woman but poverty and lack of opportunities in our country forced her to go overseas to work as a modern day slave. Stories like this is very common in the Philippines and i pray that one day those who are working in the government will be bothered and work with their conscience.
Why would people do this? They kept her in the living room, which is one room away from the kitchen...
BBC doesn’t mention that this almost EXCLUSIVELY happens in the middle east.
They never could in fact i'm kind of shocked they didn't find a way to blame white men. Give it time they probably have a way to blame me by now.
