Abuse of Domestic Workers, Most of them Women, in Asia and Middle East - Photographer Steve McCurry has documented the suffering of women from Indonesia, Nepal and the Philippines who endured a myriad of abuses while working for families elsewhere in Asia and the Middle East. “They’re at the complete mercy of these people who see them almost like slaves: ‘You’re my property, you’ll do what I say,’” Mr. McCurry, 64, said. Responding to horrific treatment in countries like Saudi Arabia, the International Labor Organization, or ILO, a branch of the United Nations, passed a treaty to protect domestic workers in 2011. Yet the abuses continue, and only 14 countries have ratified the treaty. lens.blogs.nytimes/2014/10/09/behind-closed-doors-abuse-of-domestic-workers/?_php=true&_type=blogs&emc=edit_tnt_20141017&nlid=66251409&tntemail0=y&_r=0
