<p>A Pakistani woman who was in search of a job allegedly faced sexual advances from several potential employers.

Reddit storm erupts as employee walks out on boss for saying ‘f*** off’

<p>An Indonesian woman, who had left her Central Java hometown for the capital city Jakarta where she got a job as a maid to help her parents with debt, was beaten, tortured, chained to a dog cage and forced to eat animal faeces by her employer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After going through months of harassment, the 24-year-old walks with a limp and has visible burn scars along her legs.</p>

<p>"My head hurts every time I think about what happened to me," she stated, sobbing. The case of Siti Khotimah is not unique in Indonesia, a country which does not have a bill to protect domestic workers because of which more than four million people, mostly women, are vulnerable to abuse.</p>

<p>Speaking to AFP, Khotimah said that she was also raped during her employment, however, she was unable to talk about it. Since then, she has informed the police who asked her to file a separate lawsuit for sexual abuse.</p>

Woman beaten, chained to dog cage and forced to eat animal faeces by employer in Indonesia

<p>In what comes as a violation of workers as well as human rights, three senior managers at a Kenyan dairy company have been arrested over allegations of indecent assault. The managers forced a group of female employees to strip in order to determine which of them were on their period.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The shocking incident took place last week at&nbsp;Brown’s Food Company’s dairy factory&nbsp;located in Limuru, central Kenya. Interestingly, all three managers were women and they undertook the strip search to find out who had put the sanitary pad in the wrong bin.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sub-County Police Commander Philip Mwania said the three managers had been arrested and would be presented before the court once investigations were complete.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Company issues statement&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>After the controversy snowballed, the company took evasive measures and suspended the managers. It also released a statement saying an investigation had been launched to reach the end of the "shocking" incident.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Brown’s is a women-led business and works hard to provide a working environment that is safe for all employees. Brown’s has formal HR policies and systems in place and this incident does not reflect the procedures of the company as a whole. We realise we must do better and understand how this happened,” the company said.</p>

<p>“The public is holding us accountable and we will continue to update you on the progress which is being made and the resolution to those affected.”</p>

<h2><strong>The incident came to light late&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Although the incident took place last week, it only gained prominence after&nbsp;Senator Gloria Orwoba posted a video on social media saying she had received some distress calls about it.&nbsp;</p>

In what comes as a violation of workers as well as human rights, three senior managers at a Kenyan dairy company have been arrested over allegations of indecent assault.

In what comes as a violation of workers as well as human rights, three senior managers at a Kenyan dairy company have been arrested over allegations of indecent assault. The managers forced a group of female employees to strip in order to determine which of them were on their period. The shocking incident took place last week at Brown’s Food Company’s dairy factory located in Limuru, central Kenya. Interestingly, all three managers were women and they undertook the strip search to find out who had put the sanitary pad in the wrong bin. Sub-County Police Commander Philip Mwania said the three managers had been arrested and would be presented before the court once investigations were complete. Company issues statement After the controversy snowballed, the company took evasive measures and suspended the managers. It also released a statement saying an investigation had been launched to reach the end of the "shocking" incident. “Brown’s is a women-led business and works hard to provide a working environment that is safe for all employees. Brown’s has formal HR policies and systems in place and this incident does not reflect the procedures of the company as a whole. We realise we must do better and understand how this happened,” the company said. “The public is holding us accountable and we will continue to update you on the progress which is being made and the resolution to those affected.” Also read | Kenya doomsday cult deaths’ site to be turned into national memorial: Minister The incident came to light late Although the incident took place last week, it only gained prominence after Senator Gloria Orwoba posted a video on social media saying she had received some distress calls about it.
