The Young Women Christian Association (YWCA) has expressed concerned over the way some shop-owners are treating young girls.
Kalulushi YWCA National Vice Chairperson, Sharon Chisanga, told ZANIS Kalulushi in an interview today that some young girls had been making several reports to her office that they had been over-worked and paid meagre salaries compared to the work they do.
Mrs Chisanga said the most culprit is a named shop-owner at the market where workers had been reporting to her that they were even being forced to clean toilets without using protective clothes such as gloves.
She added that the same girls had told her that the owner of the shop forces them to get the expired foods on credit and later start deducting from their salaries as a way of making sure that he did not incur any loss on those particular food stuffs.
The YWCA chairperson appealed to government to make random survey in the area and interview some shop workers so that they could find the truth so that such perpetrators of could be brought to book.

Which shops are these Sharon?Why are you scared to mention them since you have been told? come on!
If you not happy wit conditions of service  just quite de job, finito!
Number 2 you such an a**h***!
The picture in this story is that of Kalulushi Mine Hospital ba LT not related.We should have a picture of shops at the market area.Seems to be not factual article or is it about sour grapes?
Thats the civic center dude
Sad how people can treat others in such a dehumanizing way. As always  we just concentrate on what the china man is doing when we have our fellow Zambians even more evil. Such should not be condoned.Â
@viva (number 3)  I quite my job some time back coz I thot i was being treated unfairly, I now run my business and have employees, lots of hard work but have never been happier. That’s the perspective I spoke from earlier.
Well, mention the shop if your story is true! why beating about the bush? Those girls should come clean and mention the shop. If you dont want to be fired, work hard. No work no pay, less work, less pay!
mudam ymca please tell the nation the owner of that some shop.
You should get the story from the owner of the shop as well from what I see these your friends are story telling and you dash off to the press without verifying??? This looks like a good case for defamation unfortunately against you. Now these toilets they are cleaning are they public?
Dont mention the names to people first go undercover and investigate otherwise they will pretend everything is ok if you go straight.
