Great story, sad story. A life of giving and giving up, not much receiving, except abuse, but for the end.
I think her story was worse than the author was able to offer up.
Reading this story brought my mind back to a documentary on Indians and other domestic helpers working in the Emirates. I believe an Indian maid got her hand chopped off by her employer in Saudi Arabia about 2 years ago and received a pittance as compensation.

this is predominantly a Asian problem, some of these people cling to these medieval practices even when they migrate from their homelands.
there were two cases in NY recently 2/3 years back.

not saying they are better off in these other countries , but the estimate is 30 million world wide and the three largest Asian countries have 18 million, if 75% of the cases are in Asia, isn't that dominant?
