A Filipino domestic worker, who asked to be identified only by her first name, Babylen, speaks during an interview with The Associated Press at a shelter opened for unemployed domestic workers in Hong Kong Friday, Nov. 7, 2014. More than 160,000 Indonesians, almost all women, have taken similarly perilous routes to jobs as maids, nannies and housekeepers in Hong Kong, lured by salaries as much as five times higher than at home. Now, they’re mourning two of their own Seneng Mujiasih and Sumarti Ningsih, former domestic workers in their 20s who were found stabbed to death last weekend in the luxury apartment of British investment banker Rurik George Caton Jutting. For Babylen the past year and a half in Hong Kong has been a bitter disappointment. An injury on the job led to her dismissal in March. Now, she’s waiting to receive compensation while sleeping in the shelter. (AP Photo/Vincent Yu)
