Modern Slavery: The Hidden Hell of 15 Million Domestic Workers | Full Documentary

More than 15 million women work as domestic workers across Asia and the Middle East. Behind closed doors, many endure what can only be described as modern slavery: passports confiscated, abuse, isolation, and no basic rights. This powerful documentary exposes the dark reality of the Kafala system, which still enables the exploitation of millions of migrant workers—especially women from the Philippines. Through shocking testimonies, on-the-ground investigations, and rare insights, this film reveals a system that continues to operate in silence. 👉Why does this system still exist? 👉Who benefits from it? 👉 And how do some women manage to escape? #hongkong #philippines #humanrights #libanon #documentary #fulldocumentary #wocomohumanity ------- Chapters 00:00 Introduction 04:01 The Philippines: a global supplier of domestic workers 06:22 The shocking recruitment process 10:54 Hong Kong: a major destination 13:59 Domestic workers under control: modern slavery 16:42 Inhumane working conditions: no days off, no freedom, confiscated passports 18:43 A shelter for escaped domestic workers 25:40 Lebanon: domestic workers sent to prison 31:30 A survivor’s powerful testimony 35:30 Why the Kafala system still exists 38:00 In Manila: support for Filipino migrants 40:52 Unexpected help from the internet 43:59 A tragic story in Saudi Arabia 47:58 Epilogue ------- Subscribe to wocomoHUMANITY: https://goo.gl/5Sp36B Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomo ------- Directed by Alexandra Jousset & Gratiane de Moustier Original title: Maids: Docile and Invisible, a Story on Domestic Worker © 2016, licenced by GAD ------- Documentaries about people and cultures from around the globe: wocomoHUMANITY offers high-quality content which is produced by leading production companies.
