 I think it is not possible to change the culture of 'Housemaid' in Nepal because of our lifestyle in Nepal that demands a lot of works in Kitchen, cleaning etc. But people can definitely be a little humane and give a change to the poor 'boy/girl' who is working in the home at least a fair chance of education. I think if every family do that, that would definitely bring a lot of change in our community. but all the abuse, treating maids like animals really need to stop.

It is so sad for these girls that there is hardly anyone on their side. I think even their families back home do not care for them at all.

I wonder what happens to 'us' when it comes to housemaids and why we are not even able to treat them a little better.
