An Indonesian maid, who was forced to work unpaid for an Egyptian family in Saudi Arabia and England for 18 years, has finally returned home.
The 50-year-old maid left Indonesia in 1999 and first worked for an Egyptian family in Saudi Arabia. The family then moved to England in 2001 where she continued to work for them illegally, Tempo reported.
The maid said she was not paid for her work and was was not allowed to contact anyone, including her family in Indonesia. She also worked long hours and was not given days off. She said she was not allowed to leave her employer’s home unless she was accompanied by a member of the family.
Earlier this year, she secretly went to a post office near her employer’s home where she sent a letter to her family, saying she needed help. Her son alerted the Foreign Ministry in Jakarta, which contacted the Indonesian Embassy in London.
On April 5, she was rescued by the embassy and British police and her employer and his family were arrested. The embassy assisted in her repatriation.
She left the UK on Tuesday evening and has been reunited with her family.

How about her salary for 18 years did she got that too or not??? The employer should be punishable by jail for 18years also same as they do to the worker
Darely Egyptian are really devilsin Every where they go, especially in gulf
Thats a very long time of anyones life. Just hope that she gets her owed wages with 309%more for her lost time. Even that isn’t enough
Egyptians are known to do slavery that is before AD/ before Christ..ang mga pagans noon ginawa nilang slaves so sa tingin nila ang katulong ay slaves nila☠️☠️They are abusive????????☠️☠️
I truly hope she got all her payments for all those years that she worked for these heartless family including interest and they’ve been punished for what they had done to her.
Did she finally get paid ??
