Feature: Abused and deceived: The distressing reality of domestic workers in Ethiopia
Nevertheless, amid the focus on the situation abroad, the challenges faced by domestic workers within Ethiopia’s own borders often go unnoticed. According to a conservative estimate, there are at least 248,600 women employed as domestic workers in Ethiopian cities. A research study published by the Population Council in 2022 has shed light on the alarming conditions faced by child domestic workers. The violence against domestic workers has intensified in recent times due to various disturbing news reports of domestic workers harming or even causing the deaths of children under their care. Although the proclamation was legislated to govern worker-employer relations, it is not yet applicable to the contracts of domestic workers.

The Amhara Saga and the Prospect of an All-out Civil War in Ethiopia 😀
I find it galling that Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has never ever acknowledged that there is a new civil war going on under his watch. Amharas of all ages, professions, and backgrounds are languishing in these concentration camps located in Afar, Oromia, and Addis Ababa areas. Ethiopia’s rulers try to mask the truth by arresting thousands of dissidents and sending them to Auschwitz-like concentration camps. I urge you to listen to my take of the current unfolding tragedy in Ethiopia on Anchor Media with Journalist Messay Meknnnen. Watch “Anchor Media ከዶ/ር አክሎግ ቢራራ ጋር የተደረገ ቆይታ”Dr/ Aklog Birara
