HOLD FOR FEATURE MALAYSIA-LABOUR-RIGHTS-INDONESIA Indonesian women dish out rice for a communal meal at a shelter for abused migrant maid workers in the compounds of the Indonesian embassy in downtown Kuala Lumpur, 14 November 2007. Countless millions of Asian women leave their homes to work in foreign countries, and in a quiet dormitory behind the Indonesian embassy here are some of the casualties of this mass migration. Some of them have been beaten, raped or tortured with scalding water and hot irons, and nearly all have been treated like slaves and not paid for months or years of exhausting work.
