Raped, battered, made pregnant, then kicked out: a common story.
Sapana Bishwokarma, 26, has no answer when she is asked about the father of the two-year-old boy who plays beside her. She says her body trembles with fear each time she recalls her son's father.
"I didn't know that man very well," says Bishwokarma, who requested her name be changed. "He used to rape me as many times as he wanted, any given time of the day."
(...)
Two men received her at the airport in Saudi Arabia and took her to the house where she would work. Instead of providing child care as promised, Bishwokarma says she was forced to work as a maid. A month into the job, she says her employer's unmarried son raped her with the help of three other men. "They were a family of three with a middle-aged father and two sons," she says. "I couldn't even understand their language, and I was beaten up by the men."
Eventually, according to her, all the men in the family raped her. In addition to using physical force, she says the sons also drugged her. One of the employer's sons would give her food when no one was in the house, and she'd become unconscious or sleepy after eating it. When she woke up, she would realize she had been raped again.
Later, when she got pregnant the elder son kicked her out and sent her back to Nepal without paying her wages. Bishwokarma declined to use her real name because she fears that bringing her story into the spotlight might affect her future. Full story...
