International news, a few days ago, the News that the Labor Bureau of the Myanmar Embassy in Thailand defended the rights of domestic girls has aroused the attention and heated discussion of the people at home and abroad. The news shows that during the period when the Burmese girl was doing domestic work in Thailand, she was not only illegally detained by her employer, but also maliciously owed 13 years of wages.
It was learned from the statement of the Labour Bureau that the girl who was subjected to inhuman treatment was named Martin Sawin, a resident of Tuwa in Delintai Province, with a father named Wu Rui and a mother named Du Muwen. After a long period of inhuman treatment, the girl developed symptoms of hearing loss and could not remember the specific home address.
In a statement, the Labor Bureau said that we will work with the Thai authorities to defend the rights of girls through legal means, so that employers who maliciously default on wages and illegally imprison others will receive the punishment they deserve. At the same time, the Labour Office has also issued an appeal for the girl's family or persons in the know to contact the Labour Office in a timely manner.
On December 17, 2021, the local authorities in Thailand and the Labor Bureau of the Myanmar Embassy in Thailand held consultations on MartinSavan, and on December 20, relevant personnel from the two countries met with the girl to understand the girl's more than 10 years of grievances and provide necessary help.
Myanmar is a big labor country, with the popularization and development of the domestic industry, more and more women are going to developed countries to engage in domestic work for family livelihood. In countries such as Thailand and Singapore, most of the nannies come from Myanmar, Indonesia and the Philippines. While the domestic service industry brings convenience to people, disputes will also occur between employers and nannies, and domestic workers who are vulnerable groups face wage deductions and bullying.
