A Thai domestic worker in Taiwan is physically and verbally abused, while a Burmese domestic worker in Thailand faces similar treatment. Lack of access to labour laws in both countries creates this situation. The Thai worker has left her country for economic reasons while the Burmese, making $24-$73 US per month, is still economically better off in Thailand than in her even poorer country.
