Employer Forces Filipina Domestic Helper in Saudi Arabia To Eat Pieces of Broken Glass

For some unknown reason, there are those employers who really like to torture their domestic helpers. Though they are being treated kindly, these employers still chose to treat them less than a person.

Facebook user FainalynLakibolFainalyn took to social media to ask for help because her cousin is in grave condition abroad.

According to Fainalyn, her cousin only worked for one month on her employer when the abuse started. It was not a mere simple abuse. This abuse threatened the life of her cousin.

As she narrated in her Facebook post, her cousin identified as DassanNurfaizaDahi was being abused by her employer. Her cousin forcedly ate small pieces of a broken glass, as instructed by her employer.

It is crazy to think that she ate it, knowing the dangers that it accompanies. But she was left without a choice. Her employer is guarding her as she consumes the broken pieces of glass.

The next strategy of her employer is to mix the broken pieces of glass in her food so she cannot feel its sharpness. But it’s of no use. She can still feel the sharp object going through her throat, causing her to vomit.

Her agency, Goodman International Manpower Inc., refused to help her.

The Philippine Embassy in Riyadh is yet to comment on the issue.
