The mistreatment this women (or any other maid or labor) has received is far more worse and disgusting to digest then what the sponsors have digested...
When a poor does some wrong or mistake,everybody questions it and also the ready to take actions... as it is come from a rich. But the vice versa is...!!!
Why give an opportunity to even make our helpers/workers even think about doing something wrong? It all first starts from within, if we are good, we need not see all these, rather we can be confident and rely on others for safety.
Teachings if Islam (unfortunately not TODAY's so called Muslims):
If any Muslim abuses the power that Allaah has given him over those who are under his care or authority, such as servants, workers or others under his care, then he should remember the power that Allaah has over him.
It was narrated that Abu Mas’ood al-Badri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I was beating a slave of mine with a whip, then I heard a voice behind me saying, “Remember, Abu Mas’ood.” I did not recognize the voice because I was so angry, but when he drew close to me I saw that it was the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and he was saying, “Remember, Abu Mas’ood; remember, Abu Mas’ood.” I threw the whip aside and he said, “Remember, Abu Mas’ood, that Allaah has more power over you than you have over this slave.” I said, “I will never beat another slave again.” Narrated by Muslim, 1659.
Allaah made our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) a good example for us, whose example and guidance we should follow. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was the best of people in attitude towards his servants; he did not scold them and beat them, even if they went against his instructions.
