A looming shortage in maids in Hong Kong threatens to make it more difficult for the city's residents to hire experienced domestic.

The spate of abuse cases against maids has discouraged many to take on the job, and it's pushing up the cost of hiring one in the city.

Thirty-eight-year-old Kana has been working for Mrs. Wu in Hong Kong for almost six years now. She finds herself luckier than most as she and her employer get along well. But it's not been the same for her peers. Her heart breaks when she hears of the abuse they go through.

"I feel really bad when I hear of it. But I feel all the more fortunate I have a kind boss," said Kana, Indonesian domestic helper in Hong Kong.
