Employer regularly beat up maid, did not pay salary totalling BD360
A 24-year-old Ethiopian maid claimed she was regularly beaten by her employers.
Genet Netash (showing her burnt arm in the picture) was in a traumatised condition when she approached the Migrant Workers Protection Society last month. She claimed she was pushed by her sponsor while she was ironing clothes and burnt her arm on the hot iron when she fell. She also said that her employer had not paid her salary which amounted to BD360.
A case was filed with the Ministry of Labour against the sponsor. “The employer denied the charges but later admitted to the charge of abuse and that some money was due to her from him,” said Delrene Embuldeniya, a spokeswoman for MWPS. Meera Ravi
