Back in the day, Gabar Cida would be brought from Baadiyo to help out. They were treated like any member of the family and would generally not be at threat of sexual exploitation or physical abuse.
Times have changed, Faradheer kibir is decreasing in urban Somalia and some young women seek their Irzaqa however they can. It is risky for young working women to be exposed to male members of a household who they aren't related to. Wolves and sheep shouldn't mix. Alxamdulillah none of my female relatives back home are in such a situation.
Forget adult men, even the horny teenagers of a family will prey on them given the opportunity. I remember how my older teenage cousin would harass a Xabashi maid in Addis. However, these women need the work; it is a Catch22 situation.
