Stop blaming the victims

Stop blaming the victims: Musician and social activist Melanie Subono (left), ex-migrant worker Imas Tati (center) and Migrant Care chief Anis Hidayah talk to the media as they launch an online petition in Jakarta on Thursday. The petition, which can be accessed via www.change.org/supportimastati, aims at urging Migrant Workers Task Force chairman Maftuh Basyuni to clarify his statement that workers’ flirtatious behavior is to blame for the many abuses they suffer from employers.
