[quote=Anonymous]I was reading the other day about the young maid/nanny from Sri Lanka who was beheaded recently in Saudi Arabia.

It got me thinking about nanny rights - or lack of - especially when we work abroad & within our own country. When it's the families word against the nannies (especially when a family is afraid the nanny will tell all)  things can get quite pear shaped. It also makes me hesitant to work in some of the cultures I am not familiar with because I am unsure what the game is - how they operate behind closed doors - which is a shame because probably 80% of the households are fine. For example I'd love to nanny in Russia but always get a bit freaked out that the agencies aren't legit and I'll end up getting trafficked or a kidney cut out.

So what do think should be our basic Rights as nannies? And what can we do to ensure we are all safer in the workplace?
