A child domestic worker, Hosneyara Begum (11) was abused at Rajashon, Savar area. She came from Goforgaon to work at the family of Sayeed and Shimu, about a year ago. Since then, she was abused few times. Finally she could not tolerate anymore, when Shimu burned her skin with hot metal-spatula. Scared and tortured, Hosneyara ran away to Savar Model Police Station and filed a complaint, on Tuesday.

Domestic Workers’ Rights Network Bangladesh (DWRN) expressed their concern and condemned the responsible. They also demanded for proper investigation and legitimate punishment of such vulgar abuser.

DWRN report to the press regarding the matter also mentioned about the urgency of establishing ‘Domestic Workers Protection & Welfare Policy 2015’. Unless, similar abusing will continue forever. The report was signed by the DWRN coordination Syed Sultana Uddin.
