My Family’s Slave

This is why US government employees and employees of contractors get mandatory training in how to recognize human trafficking.

In this situation, at the very minimum, you need to ask "Do you feel your employer treats you fairly? I will keep your answer confidential."

If the answer is "yes", then your moral obligation is satisfied. If the answer is "no", you may have to dig down through "uncomfortable situation," potentially to "friendship-ending argument about unethical behavior."

If you discuss the answer with anyone... you've not kept the answer confidential.

Well obviously, if there is an ongoing crime being committed they will speak. Even lawyers, priests, and doctors will speak if there's an ongoing crime being committed by someone who they'd otherwise hold confidence to.

You can discuss your own observations without ever referring to your conversation with the housekeeper, or even admitting that a conversation happened.
