The objective of this blog is to highlight the plight of Ethiopian women domestic workers in the Middle East.

A large number of Ethiopian women travel to the Middle East to work as domestic workers, and often most of them are abused, denied their salaries, held in captivity, raped, and tortured by their employers.

The abuse of domestic workers is a human rights issue, which needs an in-depth understanding, and a strategic solution within and beyond the Ethiopian community.

We must all do what we can to work towards eliminating this issue by advocating, creating awareness and justice for the victims and or their families.
