A few years ago, the Times did a story about Sri Lankan women who go to the Middle East to work as domestic servants. This picture is of a 20-year-old woman named Thangarasa Jeyanthi who was severely abused in Lebanon.

-----

Thangarasa Jeyanthi, 20 and emaciated, had arrived at the shelter from Lebanon one morning. She had a face as purple and puffy as a plum, eyes swollen shut, burn marks on her body and dried blood still around her ears.

The husband and wife she worked for had assaulted her daily, she said, speaking in the high, anguished voice of a little girl who cannot understand what she has done wrong. They had cut her with a knife, kicked and stomped on her, tied her hands with rope and denied her food.

Her employer's mother had rescued her, taking her to the police. They secured five months back salary for her, and took her to the airport, where strangers moved by her appearance collected $232 for her.

'I never expected to be returned to Sri Lanka,' she said. 'I always thought only my dead body would come back.'
