A Filipino domestic worker escaped from her abusive employers only to be raped by a Pakistani taxi driver in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and was severely injured in the attack.

A Facebook post by Nadzker Hartnett said the 28-year-old Filipina arrived in Riyadh six months ago and was a domestic worker. She was allegedly abused and mistreated by her employers.

She escaped from her employer’s house and took a taxi to the Philippine Overseas Labor Office. However, along the way the Pakistani taxi driver allegedly raped her.

The woman said in a video that she was offered 50 riyals by the driver, but she refused it. When She started to bleed heavily, the taxi driver left her and drove away. Fortunately, there were several Filipinas in the area and they took her to a hospital.

At the hospital, she was given a blood transfusion and had two operations to repair the damage done during the rape. She is now in the King Saud Medical City, Maternity Hospital.

    your blog in exchange for a link back to mine.
    Please blast me an email if interested. Cheers!

  3. Superb site you have here but I was curious if you knew of any message boards that
    cover the same topics discussed in this article? I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get feed-back from other experienced people that share the same interest.

    He always kept talking about this. I will forward this post to
    him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!

  5. When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I
    get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
    Appreciate it!

  6. Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this blog loading?
    I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end
    or if it’s the blog. Any feedback would be greatly
    appreciated.

  8. You’re writing a book? Awesome! I’d be thrilled if you included a paragraph to the post and linked to it in your book. (I wouldn’t mind being mentioned by name either. Haha.) Hope your readers find it useful!
    You’re not alone — I used to put the bare minimum into my blog comments, too. “Going through the motions” is how I used to refer to it!

  9. Btw I learned another gem from you – you tweeted letting me know you left a response on my comment. And sort of solved my problem – I used to send individual mails to my readers letting them know I responded to their comment on my blog.
    Appreciate the tweet and kind words, Shiv. Hope you are having a great day!
