Erwiana Sulistyaningsih, a 22-year-old former domestic helper, was reportedly left unable to walk after eight months of alleged abuse at the hands of the employer. She was admitted to an Indonesian hospital in critical condition after returning home last week.

Domestic workers took to the streets of Hong Kong in support of Erwiana Thursday, and demanded better protection for the city's hundreds of thousands of foreign helpers.
