Women have been commodities for selling and buying for centuries!

   [h=3]Indonesian 'maid detectives' on mission to save women from trafficking[/h] By Beh Lih Yi JAKARTA (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Rima Jayanti has not had formal training in detective work but with her sharp eye and gut instinct, her task is to spot Indonesian women at Jakarta's bustling airport in danger of being sent abroad to a life of domestic servitude. Domestic helpers going to the Middle East tend to wear an Islamic headscarf, be middle-aged and elusive when asked about their plans, she said. Women travelling to Hong Kong or Taiwan meanwhile usually have short hair, wear sneakers and are younger. Some 2.3 million Indonesians are working as maids in wealthier countries in Asia and the Middle East, risking abuse including the non-payment of wages and physical assault.
