Two Fijian women have described how for months they worked seven-day weeks for $40 in the home of a Wellington businesswoman who has since been charged with exploiting them.
The two women were living at the house and said they were expected to look after children 24 hours a day as well as doing housework, and were not allowed their passports.
In October last year they approached Immigration New Zealand officials to help get them out.
The businesswoman has been charged and has been committed for trial in Wellington District Court on a date yet to be set.
