Jessica Aguilar Ramos- Maid abused by cricket star

This article is about the developments in a case against cricket star Shahadat Hossain and his wife, Nritto Shahdat, who have been accused of having beaten an 11-year-old live-in maid recently. The situation was brought to light when the girl ran away from their home and was rescued by a journalist who took her to a hospital due to the extent of her injuries. This situation shows us that child labor and essentially slavery are not over throughout the world as we would like to think, rather those institutions are alive and thriving unless someone can find a proper solution for these problems and truly make them a thing of the past, not something barely hidden and willingly ignored due to its unfortunate necessity for some.

  1. It is awful that this happened to this maid. With a job like hers, you have to be ready to have to assist the craziest people and you never know what they will do.
