Ethiopia banned domestic workers to work abroad

Ethiopia has banned domestic workers to work abroad because most of them leave the country through illegal agencies.  This has led to illegal human trafficking.  The International Labour Organization (ILO) said many Ethiopia domestic workers (most of them female) are physically abused, paid very low, discriminated and work in very poor condition.  In February a video emerged online showing an Ethiopian maid in Lebanon dragged by her hair in public by her employer.  The female worker later killed herself in hospital.  Majority of people in Ethiopia are earning less than 2 dollars per day.
