Every year hundreds of female migrant
workers return to Bangladesh after such abuse and in some cases after death. Their migration abroad, undertaken at the cost of mortgaged land and belongings, was to support their families back home, in exchange for the life of a servant in a foreign. Their suffering often knew no limits – starting from
underpayment, denial of food and sexual
exploitation, some resulting in unwanted pregnancies
Society and family members have outcast them as the workers have no idea how to
explain to their children their father’s identity.
