Myanmar’s Youngest Maids | 101 East

When a maid from Myanmar fell from the window of a high-rise Singapore flat, the incident shocked the public. Then came the news that the girl was just 15 years old.

In 2016, a 101 East investigation revealed that girls from Myanmar were being trafficked to Singapore to work as domestic helpers. One year on, we discover that the practice continues despite laws in both countries designed to prevent it.

On this episode, 101 East exposes the powerful, corrupt forces still profiting from the labour of Myanmar’s vulnerable young girls.
