So long as we live by selling our young mothers for slavery so that our politicians can go on robbing, these kind of horrendous news will keep flowing.

Why cant the govt stop the kairvaru and bring back the billions stolen by the last regime and do something to give these poor housemaids jobs locally.

When are they stop this slave trade? How many more lives needs to be slain before Sri lankan authorities stop this? They are not doing so due to balance of foreign currency income to Sri lanka. These maids are only earning peanuts compared to government waste like ministers foreign trips.
