A Filipina domestic worker has been hospitalised in Saudi Arabia after her employer allegedly forced her to drink household bleach, Manila's foreign ministry said on Monday.

Domestic worker Agnes Mancilla underwent emergency abdominal surgery after she was taken, unconscious, to a hospital in Saudi's southwestern Jizan city on 2 April, the ministry said.

"We are working closely with authorities in Jizan to make sure that justice will be given to Agnes Mancilla," the ministry said in a statement.

I saw a stat, thousands and thousands of Filipinos work in those countries, over 100,000 at least, maybe 2 or 3 times that number.  It was posted in these forums.

Yep and not a single one of them can leave without their owners ..errrr employers permission.

Most of them are treated as slaves.
