Millions of young women find themselves working for low pay and little legal protection.

Correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports from New Delhi on the tens of millions of unprotected, underpaid, and largely invisible domestics, many of whom were trafficked into the work as children. He also talks with Sister Jeanne Devos, a Belgian nun who founded the National Domestic Workers Movement to represent them.
