What Happened to the ‘Housegirls’? – BBC Africa Eye documentary
Three years ago, BBC Africa Eye’s Nancy Kacungira reported on the plight of three young women, Mercy, Scovia and Esther who left their homes to find jobs as domestic workers. Commonly referred to as ‘housegirls’, the film chronicled their hard lives and illustrated how being employed as a domestic worker can sometimes lead to mistreatment…

What hits me the most is the desperate desire to go to school. Kids and young people these days in the US hate school (most but not all). Videos like these NEED to be shown in school or at home.
Maybe the sewing class can make the clothes for Esther to sell.
I want to assist the little girl who wants to continue with her education. Please assist us with her information so we can give her more assistance.
Even after being pregnant, she still wants to go to school. I am proud of her.
We are proud of her. Allow us to assist her by posting your charity account. Please avoid being scammed.
😂😂😂 the father of the babies are also young boys
Please what is the name of the House who rescure the girls. Thanks so much
What language did Robina speak it sounds Asian 😮
I was looking forward to this followup. Thankyou BBC,thankyou Nancy
Very eye opening and deeply inspiring documentary.
What country teaches males to impregnate without career marriage home and money to care for baby – kill bugs drugs to impregnate without proper life especially in America this life is no fun – taking over churches as single parents is devastating
How can I contact this domestic agency for a helper who is looking for an opportunity in the USA?
20.26: increase the age of domestic workers, they should at least be 25+, know where they r working, visit them, organise them in union so they know their rights and don't take abuse.
In Congo Brazzaville domestic work is for young adult women , but in East and West Africa I have noticed they like employing young children because they are easy to mistreat and manipulate. Shame on those who abuse children u r evil.
Start a go fund me for these girls
This is very eye opening, I'm from Namibia and this is common here as well. This was educational, good job.
I hired some house girls before do some cooking and cleaning they retire in my house and make a living feed their fariry
How can we help our girls?
Where is Racheal and Juliet …..plizzz update us
always loved Nancy's pieces! Congrats, sister! Would be great though if there were contacts to try and assist some of these girls.
The fact that Esther named her child after Nancy says how much you mean to them.
Great work! 💯
Im I the only one who has noticed that scovia can barely afford a smile? Almost as though she's overstressed.
Poverty is so dehumanizing sometimes I wish no one has to face it.scovia still not happy and in thought..mercy doing great
I don't understand with things so hard, why do all these women have babies ?? I just can't get my head around it.
the best follow up
scovia's granny taking care of 3 generations of babies makes me a little sad
Unplanned parenthood is the dagger in the coffin for many girls, especially house girls.
a bitch aint no-one else gonna have that
There's much that needs to be done regarding empowering young girls in the villages.Empowering would include matters contraception. With little/no exposure to better living standards and knowing no other life aside from that of the village, they're vulnerable to so much.
Her story is personal so you put her on camera.
Education is important, but schools aren't only choice(they try to be, because corrupt system).
Schools are places of discrimination, horrible bulling by both classmates/teachers, some peoples who are so called nationalists or feminists can advocate for genocides, what I saw in Czechia schools is absolutely horrible(so nobody will convince me about nice schools/unis)
Like interesting stories…, but on other hand some moments looked like terrible Western propaganda

How can we get in touch with these girls for those of us who would like to be able to help them financially pls.
What are the charity names and contact info if someone wants to help
I hear men mistreat wives….. about women who abuse kids that there video all over. She should learn to be a lawyer to fight for the kids suffering not fight men. BBC… you a feminist machine. Lost the plot
When I become wealthy I will search for ways to advance black women and girls 😢we have no way to protect our fertility. Without education they are me😢
Good reporting.This is an eye opener to everyone.People should be kind to one another, domestic workers too have rights and need to be treated in a humane manner and paid well.
