A Singaporean Helper Shares Her Nightmares Experience While Working At Kuwait With An Abusive Family
Sometimes, a lot of us will be very happy when we get a chance to work abroad and having the chance to explore another new world while working there. But for a foreign domestic worker, her happy moments become a total nightmare when she realizes that the family she is working for has a huge problem.
The thing started fine on the starting when she just arrives at Kuwait, but eventually as time pass by, she noticed that the daughter of the young family happens to have rashness on her private part. As she told the mother after a few attempts, she was accused of harming the child.
Eventually, the whole situation becomes worst as she started to discovered that the daughter was actually molested by the father. Which causes her to be starved for 3 days and not even given a drop of water which she believes she is close to dying on that night. As there is no one else she can rely onto, she just hopes and prayed for God that some help will appear.
On the following day, she was sent to the police station but her case got rejected. From there, her true nightmare begins as her employer burns all her passport and her belongings. Therefore the family decided to sell her to another employer which end up in failure too. On the final attempt, the family tries to replace her on the agency which also ended up as rejection.
As her final attempts, she planned her escape on the trip from the agency and she ended up hiding in the embassy with the help of her fellow Filipina. From there, she has to be transferred to jail for 12 days due to her runaway case.
During her stays in the jail, she notices there is a lot of domestic helpers who suffered violence from their employer and she was thankful that she is still breathing and she is thankful that on 2012, she choose Singapore as her new working country. in which currently she has been working here for 8 years now.
