Domestic’s Photos of Abused Peers in Hong Kong Wins Her a Scholarship

Xyza Cruz Bacani, a Filipina domestic worker in Hong Kong, published stark photographs of burned and beaten domestic workers to highlight the "modern slavery" she says has long been the city's shameful secret. "Hong Kong is a very modern, successful city but people treat their helpers like slaves," said Bacani, whose black and white portraits won her a scholarship from the Magnum Foundation to start studying at New York University this month, reports msn.com.
