Report - Violence Against Home Servant



Violence against Home Servant in Bangladesh

Hasan Mahmud, Dhaka, 05 April: Owing to ever-consuming poverty some poor innocent girls of twelve to sixteen years old are engaged in serving in numerous families of various towns and cities as maid servants. This time they were supposed to read in schools. But what an irony of fate it is for them! They are to stay in kitchens all the time. Sometimes they are to cook, and sometimes they are to brush up the rooms.

But it is a matter of great regret that most of the maid servants are maltreated by the home-mistresses and sometimes home-masters. Such an inhuman incident occurred for a maid servant named 'Felani' yesterday. She was staying in an apartment in Khilgaon. There she had been working for one year enduring physical and mental torture as well as harassment. The home mistress was cruel enough to torture her when she would get up late or cook late. Sometimes she was beaten black and blue.

The local people rescued her and she was admitted into Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Now she is about to die in the bed of the hospital. The police already caught the couple red handed. Like 'Felani' there are some innocent maid servants in many parts of Bangladesh. They are becoming the victim of cruelty by their home-mistresses, home-masters or their children and relatives.

However, the victims and the general people think that the government should take necessary steps to improve the lot of these innocent children.
