Summary: This article writes about an Indonesia maid who worked in Saudi Arabia.
The victim, Sumiati Binti Salan Mustapa is only 23. She suffers from multiple injuries as a result of physical abuse by her employee. It was noted that it is common for such abuse to occur to migrant domestic workers. Indonesia's women minister, Linda Agum Gumelar made her way up to Saudi and will leads a inter-ministerial team to ensure that justice is fought for.
Comments: Upon reading this article, my heart sank. The victim is only 23 and she is scarred in her heart. Having to recover from such traumatic event is not easy.
I feel that human rights should apply throughout the world.
No doubt all of us speak different language, believe in different religion, however no matter how much we feel that a certain gender is more superior than the other, physical abuse should not be common, or even happen.
We should respect one another be it gender, race, religion, etc.
During dispute, a real man talks things out.
In conclusion, I hope that the Government will give a strong sentence when the culprit is arrested. Thus, drawing a clear line on human rights.
