that all foreign domestic workers have to be at least twenty three years old now we're discovering that the illegal trafficking of vulnerable young girls continues . to. be. quite age of twenty three. and it. that's a conservative estimate. and the reporting. to me and age alone on this. was. that this is what you're. looking. for any domestic worker who has been abused seeking help can be a daunting prospect many agents have to recruit in fees of up to eight months

salary and would rather an ill treatment than risk being sent home and debt. also be underage. who are trapped in households and do not know how to seek help so that's also net effect. of such cases. some cases end in tragedy. just four weeks off the arriving here domestic worker whine whine allegedly jumped out of the window of her employer's eighteenth floor flat. at a funeral we meet her oldest sister choctaw who also came to singapore as a domestic worker. of volunteer from a migrant workers n.g.o.s helps to translate. died. from. a nuisance. but we don't get to speak further as churchill

what. the. and near. warning i will leave it yet. you give me all why why nothing of. what we. keep wasn't home when our recruitment agent from a neighboring village showed up one day and it was their mother who agreed to let wine wine go. away. and the girls and the. game was only. you know. as we suspected wine wine was under-age her family records show she was only

seventeen. were told the same agent has recruited at least sixty goals from this village to go to singapore one of them has recently returned and come to visit white wines family kensho is twenty years old unable to cope with being away from home she quit only a month off the leaving me and my. mother tells us another of her daughters is still working in singapore. remember that you know that cannot be allowed the last may even be an argument over material the now call it evil barack obama you are a little man. and they're the rule yeah me your gary you have you know a lot of not in any of or not even among ivy. c.b.s. paid out i think for the better part of the interview kinch will leave the talking to her mother but she does try to interrupt or wants to know any one thousand in my

leg little teeny little madeleine you bank mom or even want to hire now who now might let you know about all i know by now. for one whines grieving family these are clearly difficult words to hear but the neighbor doesn't stop and she wants us to know that she believes the agent is the villages benefactor to lao whole a little to my legally of a say yeah me now as it will call me by yeah yeah he will go yeah. to finally now where. the level would i get. as little mikey. day's drive south takes us to the go region. we're hoping to see momo. we lost better on this rooftop in singapore as part of our two thousand and sixteen

investigation. she was just seventeen when she went there as a domestic worker she told us she didn't use months of sexual abuse by her employer to appear want to be all into it should not be out in. russia not to be not to be near me too if you want to but i don't want to know why don't you don't want to hear what i know and she. she fled as soon as the eight months were up but had to remain at a shelter in singapore for another two years to assist police investigations. they finally allowed her to come home even though the case remains unresolved. not they had the baroness who rules honey united grow up almost take the who they were born and lead them yeah. she's now five months

pregnant. husband doesn't have a regular job. at all and he and his al goodman if up here do not be in awe of any and so i am here at the paddock i lead them and will quietly. out of the way. with so few opportunities it's no wonder girls from this village are still leaving for singapore. momo says despite what happened to her she doesn't try to stop them but out of the media who . called out what the mere thought of them a man will they meet one of. them you know we need. to me as a woman can you be a good hiding. and let. the wily. tintin is one domestic worker who didn't need help.

she's the fifteen year old who accidentally fell from her employers apartment building she is still recovering from her injuries. she shows us the possible that she used to get a job in singapore almost all the information in it is false. at home she's known as ins in and she was born in two thousand and two not one thousand nine hundred ninety three she confirms what happened in singapore and me out. there in their faith. that i had that i sing a lot i mean. i want to. close down there and i think we're going to tell our. did you know that. she'd gone to work in singapore hoping to help support her impoverished family but because of the money she owed to

her recruitment agents she came home with nothing now her mother has to take care of her instead. of them you. would in the indian. zinzan fractured her spine when she fell but is now able to walk slowly after donors paid for her to have surgery. but she may need another operation soon. diana meant out on one hand and on helping the ellabella now. she shows us her scars. it's unlikely they'll ever go away. but how did a fifteen year old pass for twenty three. we've received

a tip off about the person who allegedly helped to make this happen. to not be available in all but we're now being added to nominate. the man in the picture is louis song play tongue. he is a member of parliament from in mars' chin state. an online search tells us he's also the director of a company called me and mark global manpower link. the company name sounds awfully familiar story we've seen it before on a sign in a side the recruitment agency in yang gone that we discovered in two thousand and sixteen was illegally sending girls to singapore you also say. this was despite men must ban on women working overseas as domestic workers.

the website for the company lists several phone numbers. when we cross check them against the contact list of the country's politicians we find a match one of the numbers belongs to us and song play tongue. we decided to give him a cool. well zero. zero zero. zero. zero. we try the second number on the website. this time we have better luck. oh good good. always remember no. oh who did some research a says she's looking to send a nineteen year old domestic worker to singapore and a friend has recommended the agency but the woman says she's no longer able to help

. and i think. you know me. you know. i don't i don't want to know me again i don't want to know all lose you know. you know. if what she says is true louis was managing director of a company involved in illegally sending domestic workers to singapore in contravention of the two thousand and fourteen pan. to find out more we travel to

the outskirts of yang go on looking for the office of myanmar global manpower and link. according to the address on the company's website this should be it. inside a man refuses to speak on camera but he tells us the house was leased by an employment agency which moved out recently in which it isn't easy and the neighbors prove more approachable they ask us to hide their identities. we show them a picture of lewis's own and ask if they've seen or recognize him something. to do that the something to hump in a muddle below nothing to eat from my mouth monitor my tongue. trying to be a mom pollutants armory and polluted only treatment. from. mrs

fielden pub on the roof over not. the movie on the banal little events we need or leave out of the under-sea and have nothing. and nothing better to. do. the people here are not all helping. when one no one east spoke to louis song he confirmed he was the managing director of me and ma global manpower link until two thousand and fifteen and remained a director until two thousand and sixteen. he tonight knowing the company was involved in illegal activities and rejected all of those ins ins allegations but he did admit to owning the house where the company had its office and that he had visited recently where the company had its office and that he had visited recently . agencies in the business of moving under-age girls

overseas need one thing possible with fake but dates. a street near the young go on passport office is host to a thriving industry. for a fee possible brokers can help clients circumvent all sorts of bureaucratic hassles and apparently even a few lawless illegal. we randomly choose one and tell her a couple stories we're trying to send a nineteen year old domestic worker to singapore last. someone else if nothing else. only. don't tell.

a second broker we approach is equally direct of the other lemme see what. it is that. i'm not. with so many people making money off this illegal trade it's hard to stem the tide and local labor activist marmar who says the blanket ban is doing more harm than good. corporal any opinion which you. know they a so we are nearly a dollar you would buy monica carillon is allusion to not be a way to. end on a day when we've been waiting and mean it she says the situation is also more nuanced than it appears child labor is not uncommon in myanmar and domestic

workers here can be as young as eleven years old. even among. the let me be your child the only way. that i will. make one of the young israel how will the any million juggling in it was out in. the law. or. at me and mas labor department we learn the government is acutely aware of the trafficking that's happening under its nose but spokesperson kinda way who says her department can only track the one hundred thirty women who went legally to work in singapore before the ban. it's harder to help if an under-aged goal leaves me in ma illegally any family any interest and a ready. the end. of our of those not on the day another mia. is

when a clear the same of the in the new year thought to neon and me at the way new with . the taoiseach. it appears that when there are cases of exploitation and abuse the labor department expects the traffickers to look after the goals they traffic. we ask if myanmar and singapore are working together to solve the problem and in or never on monday in atlanta who don't. know all they are when our own is or seem to be a poor man and him obama. back in singapore it's clear to see the band isn't working. every week hundreds of domestic workers from myanmar gather here to enjoy their day off. most if not all of them have managed to circumvent the ban. some of the like

they are still in their teens. when we raise the issue with singapore's ministry of manpower they responded in writing saying the passport remains the primary document for identification and age verification it is thus important. in the source country to ensure the accuracy of the details in the passports. it's four months since a sister's death and churchill is still grieving. when we first met at the funeral she told us why mine was twenty three or twenty four. but now she says she was too scared to reveal the truth. their agent had instructed her to lie to land the machine in order and then boom at.

its heart letting go. churchill still can't believe a sister killed herself and them home. near the end of. the year and have a meal at the mishearing now buying me a line at a meat meat on friday and. the two sisters never got to be in singapore. churchill had been trying for days to reach wine wine when she received news of her death. that was nearly four months ago but she still doesn't know what happened. we've come to the condominium where wine wine was walking and where she did allegedly jumped eighteen fruitless to her death. cho-cho is hoping to meet her sister's employer but she's scared to go inside. so

we offer to make the initial approach for. but the employer doesn't want to meet. instead she tells security to throw us out there got here. family affair from a domestic one to find out who's your daddy with the students my interest and confrontation she just wants to know what happened to my younger sister. he's just a nice lady sorry yeah what happen if you sneak up here with us. on. wine wine was only seventeen when she died. doesn't think she'll

ever know why. people know that he got down easy and be that you want to go instead to do well mom don't you know. you know maybe you mean the real me back when you see. she regrets not trying harder to reach whine whine. but most of all she regrets not telling her under-age sister to stay at home. china. i know will gloat control. business updates. going places together.
