Recently, a Filipina domestic worker reported assault perpetrated by her employer in Hong Kong.
In a recent update, it is said that the female employer of the OFW was arrested for “assault occasioning bodily harm” but was released on police bail. She is required to report back to police in late June.”
“Investigation by Regional Crime Unit of New Territories South is underway.”
It was previously reported that a certain Eden P, fled from her employer’s house and sought the help of the police after a series of assaults by her employer who lives in Serenade Cove, Castle Peak Road in Tsuen Wan.
The 37-year-old Filipina cited two instances of abuse perpetrated by her employer who works as a teacher. However, during a separate interview, Eden cited more than that she was abused by her employer. The abuse went on for one year and two months, ever since she started working last March 2020.
A particular incident that Eden recalled was when her employer pulled her hair and also ganged her head into a wall after failing to comply with her order. This happened between October and November.
Another incident happened in February this year after her employer got annoyed upon seeing her 19-month old son who failed to finish the congee. It is said that Mak, the employer of Eden, put detergent into the food and forced Eden to consume it.
“I was so afraid of her (Mak) that I was forced to eat the congee with detergent,” Eden confessed.
The series of abuse continued until Eden got the chance to escape after her employer’s family went outside their house.
The male employer of Eden who works as a physiotherapist said that her wife is suffering from post-partum depression.
