Tortured abroad, now she fears stigma at home
She landed at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in the capital on Tuesday. In keeping with the editorial policy, The Daily Star is not publishing her name or photograph. The woman alleged that she had been abused and tortured by the owner of the house where she worked in Saudi Arabia. The owner is also the father of her child, she said. Worried about how to return home with her child as she might fall victim to social stigma, the woman has taken shelter at the BRAC Learning Center in the capital's Ashkona, said Shariful Hasan, head of BRAC's migration programme.
