Watch the Ugly Reality of Asian Maids Abroad.

Hoping to rise out of poverty, Filipino women work abroad as maids where they face unspeakable abuse. Will they be saved in time?

In the Philippines, a country which prides itself as an "exporter of labour", thousands of women on a daily basis leave their families to work abroad as domestic help. However, with no unions or laws to protect them, they get the raw end of the deal, often mistreated and made to live in inhuman conditions. In worse-case scenarios, they face severe physical, sexual and mental abuse. Only a fraction of women approach NGOs and that too as a last resort. With no help coming from the international community, life continues to be a living hell for these modern-day slaves.
