This report documents how hundreds of thousands of girls in Indonesia, some
as young as 11, are employed as domestic workers in other people’s households,
performing tasks such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and child care. Most girls
interviewed for the report worked 14 to 18 hours a day, seven days a week, with
no day off. Almost all are grossly underpaid, and some get no salary at all. In
the worst cases, girls reported being physically, psychologically, and sexually
abused.
