A Filipino domestic worker was rescued by Philippine government officials after being abused and starved by her male employer in Kuwait.
The maid’s aunt in the Philippines, Jane Continente, reported her case to the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), GMA News reported.
Continente said her niece went to Kuwait last March. She said the male employer started beating her niece after he found out that she was contacting her family.
Her niece was locked in the house and only fed one meal a day.
OWWA staff were able to locate the domestic worker and organize for her to be rescued. She claimed the man who employed her had also beaten his wife.
Hans Cacdac, the administrator of OWWA, said the woman would be taken to a hospital in Kuwait for immediate medical attention.
Impose and follow what are our rights as Filipino HSW in Kuwait, contract and labor laws should be implemented by our employer, Kuwaiti Government and Philippine Staff should take immediate and striCT compliance, as we obey the rules of our employer they should respect our rights too… Agencies both here and our country shall help us to benefit what are good for us… Wake up people in all agencies don’t be starving about money from us keep in my mind we are human beings who wants freedom of our rights ….
