HONG KONG, Feb 10 — An Indonesian woman who was beaten and burned by her former Hong Kong employers, leaving her suffering chronic pain, was awarded more than US$110,000 in damages today.
She was burned with an iron and beaten with a bike chain, leaving her physically scarred and mentally traumatised. Rights groups have long argued that the city's system leaves domestic workers vulnerable to exploitation, with some unable to flee hostile workplaces due to the requirement they live with their employers.
