Baby Jane Allas lost her rights for healthcare after she was terminated from her previous employer after a cancer diagnosis.

HONG KONG: A domestic worker sacked after a cancer diagnosis was awarded damages by a Hong Kong court Monday, in a case that highlighted exploitation of foreign women toiling as maids in the wealthy financial hub.

“I am standing here right now to encourage more workers to come out if they have these kind of cases,” Allas said outside the hearing. Allas previously told AFP that she spent just over a year working for a family of Pakistani origin who ordered her to work every day of the week.
