I serve family of 23 without pay: Maid in Saudi seeks help

A Filipino maid has alleged harassment was meted out to her by her employer and has sought the help of the Philippine government.
Mary Jane Abogadie has stated that though her contract ended in 2016, she still works for a family in Saudi Arabia, and that too without pay.
According to Lilian Escalora, the Overseas Filipino Worker is her niece and has been held at the residence of her employees where she serves a household of 23 people without a salary.
According to Filipino Times, Escalora said that Abogadie's employers would sometimes lock her up and starve her. They also confiscated her passport.
Escalora added that her niece has already approached the Philippine embassy in Riyadh for help, but nothing has been done so far.
Meanwhile, Josephine Tobia, Welfare Officer of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, stated that help will be extended to repatriate the Filipino worker.
Tobia added that the administration will get in touch with Abogadie's recruitment agency to know why she was still staying with her employers despite her contract ending last year.
