Hong Kong "The first time she hit me was pay day; she told me to sign my name on a piece of paper, but I asked, 'why should I sign when you didn't give me the money?' Then, she hit me."
A 30-year-old Indonesian domestic worker, who now calls herself Susi, describes the start of the abuse cycle which shaped her life for nearly a year.
She was threatened, assaulted and trapped in the house of her employer in Hong Kong, Law Wan-tung, after being placed in the job by an employment agent.
"She only allowed me to sleep from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.; every day was only four hours of sleep," Susi said. "I was only allowed to use the bathroom three times a day. She didn't allow me to have a day off. Nothing was allowed."
