who grew up to be a peace activist. immortalized. in the rehab. she's been awarded. welcome to. it's good to have you with us we begin in the philippines where a comment by philippines president. last december prompted us to look at the issue of domestic worker abuse in the country during a speech admitted to sexually assaulting his maid when he was a teenager the comment drew criticism from rights groups but you did we wanted to know what that meant for the nearly two million domestic workers employed in the country. and i find this report.

lucy was only fifteen when a relative hired her as her domestic worker her parents thought she would be safe with them she wasn't. been sent and that they go you and. your fare. well and you no longer an unlucky back that you might. not be quitters are lucky so i mean yeah it. was it but now i'm in the masowe where buying a bag in the uk that will knock some hundred some on the. high end this year my you really expand. domestic work is a default job for many filipinos but it can also be dangerous the president of the philippines even weighed in recently on the abuse of domestic help in what many saw as a shocking confession on what he did decades ago. yeah

all. yeah. yeah. yeah. yeah. yeah yeah one for the being president rodrigo to derek there recently confessed to molesting his domestic worker as a teen he reveals a dirty little secret many domestic workers in the philippines are sexually assaulted by their employers. the police runs a union for domestic workers and was also shocked by the president's admission so an often referred on to get a sad and degrading love for you and will not just because workers have a low status. does that mean they can be treated this way. but you would. never do that for the sauk says that while rape is the worst that
