Purple Confession.

Haiz...why did it turn out this way. Thot everything was on track. Why do people have to give false hopes? Don't they care about others? Do they think that it's a funny joke? Super pissed off. Hope everything will be back to normal soon.

I was reading an article about female migration. Many females have to migrate because of poverty and to help their families. They migrate to work as maids, nannies and even sex workers. The absurd thing is that their governments strongly encouraged them to work overseas as domestic workers. All they can care about is the money that these female workers send back home. It’s very dangerous for these females to work overseas as domestic workers. They are hidden in homes, any abuse can go unnoticed. A lot of these workers have husbands and children. After working so hard and sending so much money home, they do not get to enjoy it. They return home to find that their money had been squandered by their husbands! Their husbands spend the money on alcohol, entertainment etc. So irresponsible and heartless.

I think it was last week that the newspaper did a special report on maids as well. There was a maid who went to work in a country as maid. After returning home for a few months only, she had to come to Singapore to work because the money earned had almost finished. When she is at home, her husband treats her well but once she is away, her husband goes out frequently and never take care of their daughter.

It’s really an irony that maids have to take care of other people's children and their own children left unattended. Their mums have become other children's “mum”.
