No, just cos you can exploit some poor Sri Lankan woman in the Middle East doesn’t make that a solution everywhere. Leaving their own children to raise someone

Leaving their own children to raise someone else’s while being treated like a middle ages servant is absolutely not what we should be encouraging.
I work with a non profit that helps those women escape those places once their passport is stolen.
Not all ‘masters and ma’ams’ are abusive but a large percentage are.
- Terr_ 3y agoThat reminds me of living in Hong Kong in the '90s, I think the number one job title of the entire workforce went to "Amahs"--live-in maids/housekeepers--generally women from the Philippines and remitting money back home, often to children they seldom see. Not nearly as terrible as what I hear about places like Dubai today, but the workers in HK still preferred to be employed by visiting westerners since it meant better treatment.
