I'd like to point out that there are a lot of good employers of maids and nannies in the UAE. My film aims to raise awareness not offend.
Please don't leave xenophobic or racist comments, that's not what I'm about. I have Emirati, Arab and Muslim friends who live in the UAE and agree with the points made in this film.
@102013893867082229307 its also the responsibility of the exporting countries of these domestic workers, the government system it self its so fucked up, not to mention most of the exporting countries are corrupt nations, most of these workers came from small rural villages where the world seemed so basic and innocent
+Paul James Driscoll Well said Paul, There are some peoples but not the all , as i am living in UAE since last 4 years, And i noticed that the Peoples of UAE are the best among all the Arabs. There are few cases here also about that up mentioned topic , but still if you will compere with rest of Arab world you will come to know that these UAE Nationals are way better then rest. Specially the Government , Laws and Regulations are very good in that country.

calm down ...
does the Christianity have encourage the Racism in America or Islamphopia
or other things like police abuse for every black people they arrest ..
or politician Cases of embezzlement
for sure no ..
read about ISlam and how it helped free people while you stopped using African slaves just last Century ..
its just the Greedy traders
who get money from people pain and sacrifices
We are all guilty because we stand in slience. I have studied Islam for many years. I think what you don't understand is that these people can't tell what century they are in. They interpret the verses of the Quran as they see fit to justify there lifestyle and corupt ways. They believe Allah is merciful only the Muslims and there's no justice for anyone els.
I lived in the UAE for 12 years. I’m a European female, white, blonde. First of all, I was too scared to write this comment from my actual account so I had to create this one. The uae has no freedom of speech and you can be heavily punished for saying something negative about the country. I witnessed first hand how maids are treated. They are told to use their own dishes and utensils, they sleep in a small room on a mattress, they stay at home and are paid nothing. I had a friend who had a maid, and I never understood why they get treated like that. I lived there for 12 years and for reasons I’m too scared to mention, I have ptsd. I’m a very sensitive person and I have so much empathy for these people. They work 24/7 with no off days and are forced to wear certain clothes from a shop meant for maid clothes. Most of the time they don’t even get to keep the money they make and only take it when they leave back to their country. They’re underfed and treated worst then animals. Even if they’re being abused there is no way in hell they can go to the police because they don’t want to be sent back home. They need the money to feed their families back at home. In the uae, if you’re Indian, Pakistani or any Asian country, you’re automatically seen as less then human. Let’s not forget that all those great buildings were built by Indian workers. The lazy ass Emiratis don’t do shit. I was 15 when I got harassed sexually in the elevator by an obviously older man from the uae. About 40-50 years old. I was scared to tell the police, I told my dad and he told me to keep quiet or we could get deported and he could lose his job. I’m telling you honestly, I hate that country with every piece of me.
Thank you for posting I agree with every last word you said. I’m glad you no longer live there.
Thank you for sharing and I totally empathise.
Yes we need to raise voice , many agents Also fraud the maids and make fraudulent signature on the contract.
@Abu Bakr Asadullah Al Baghdadhi Hamza ah yes, if ur being treated like shit by the entire country you should just leave right? dont justify racism and xenophobia by telling them to “leave”, kos omsk and kos hayatak may allah help you
😭😭omgosh even me something bad happen here with me ,I must my country
This is UAE, worse in other Arab countries. I experienced abuse in Qatar, 6 years ago, my employer grabbed my hair and slammed my head to the kitchen wall just becoz he thought I scream to his children, where his children are ones screaming at me. Then in Kuwait, 2 years ago, my employer sent me home 1 month after my contract expired, didn't give 2 months salary and withhold my cellphone. So I say myself no more work Arab country. I'm here in Hong Kong now, much happy.
+M.E. DAYRIT That's terrible, sorry you had to go through all that and good that you're happier now :) xx
They treat you this way because they are self entitled and all that oil money has decayed their brain. They think they can buy anything they become spoiled rotten little kids with no humility. The Quran doesn't teach them humility.

I love my nanny to pieces. She is with us 3 years and she is our family. She is an angel we pay her 2500aed a month plus all other expenses on us
She loves my kids and so kind.And as I say she gets rewarded on every occasion.I m sorry not showing off but others got to learn from good employers. I buy her gold,good phones sometimes we sit together to shop from internet.
I really don't want her to work hard. just looking after kids till I come from work is a big job.She is her room up with us not those tinny rooms.Please treat them good they don't leave u or hurt ur kids
Thank you may God bless you. If there is any openings for job kindly contact me . My sister has 5 children and she seriously needs a job to care for them.may Allah bless your good heart

So far I believe the Visa of some African countries are blocked.
I will do that thank you. Yes for the visa aspect I think what they do is to process a one month visiting visa and then get the work permit in Dubai. Visiting visa is still open to Nigeria. Thanks for the reply
Nezha, I pray to Allah Subhanaahutaall to but you in her place as a Maid. And your Maid as your boss, then you understand. Oh Allah, the almighty but this arrogant Saudis, eau,Kuwait and all Arab countries wouman in test. Yaa Allah test them with poverty.

I’ve seen such abuse with my own eyes, in my parents house. It was just disgusting, awful and overwhelmingly disturbing knowing I couldn’t do anything. No words can describe how terrible and stressful it was for me to witness some family members treat these hard working, family supporting workers like some sort of slaves. Awful.
Did you ever confronted your family!?
You could have done something. Reported the abuse to someone who could help.... hopefully.
this is deplorable. Dubai won't see a dime of my money.

Condeza Fisher for money
Not all are. Please don’t say that. My mum is half Arabic and we had a housemaid for a year. We treated her well. She was like a sister to me and we loved her dearly. Please don’t judge all Arab women by these monsters who calm themselves “human Arabs” who call themselves “human”.
My mother isn’t like that. It hurts me seeing people say that all Arabs are like this. Because not all are. Please don’t take this as an insult because I’m not trying to offend you. If I do I am sorry but it really really hurts seeing people saying such things about my mum when she would never do such a thing. We had to live in Dubai for a year because of my dads job before moving back to Australia. Also, we are not from the UAE. My mother’s father came to Australia from Palestine because of his fathers job. But don’t say that we bomb people. We don’t. We love all including Israelis. We have friends from Israel and we don’t judge anyone. We know that everyone is human and everyone should be treated equally... except maybe the monsters who treat their maids like dirt.
That’s what my mother herself as an Arab said. 💖 I love all.
Condeza Fisher true
LonelyMan Rabby thank you. 💖
u know what i stil dont believe on these stories. It is because no one would take risk to go to other countries and spending days and nights just because u want to earn money. Many philipinos women are after money and money and have seen so many examples in europe. so who is right and who is wrong, we dont know
This will probably get buried in the comment section but, i lived in saudi arabia for a while, and the maid in the building next door jumped to her death from a 4th story building.
Police say she was imprisoned and abused by not only her employers but also their children, they found burn marks on her and evidence of sexual abuse.
I really feel bad for some maids in the middle east.
Or you will get swamped by muslims that will do anything and say anything to defend saudi arabia
OMG
Ruth Kercy i agree with you lm a maid too but really I'm a slave.
fish and banana my aunt is from Kenya and she has been working there for 3weeks now and we are worried because She is a maid and we haven't herd from her,

Banned this cruel country from taking overseas nannies!WTF
Lollita Angie the nannies chose to go there to work.
Thank you for making this documentary and raising awareness on this issue. I hope there is a center that the DH can go to and report the abuses.
+elisha gay hidalgo Thanks Elisha, and yes there is a shelter that domestic workers can go to, at the Embassy
The UAE and Saudi Arabia are different countries Jason. And the Embassy I'm referring to is the Philippine embassy. Try watching the film before commenting ;)
elisha gay hidalgo centers yes but are some reluctant to the law, when housemaid will report they will empose a good beating!
LET'S SUPPORT ISRAEL
+Monicah Waweru Well said, very nasty demonic heartless people
As soon as Ahmed Al Shamsi started talking I KNEW he'd deflect the blame on these women who are essentially being treated like slaves and concubines. And what makes it worse is him acknowledging the issue, then sweeping it under the rug for the sake of maintaining face with the UN. Claiming it's being worked on and actually doing it are two different things. I've always wanted to go there, but between how horribly the construction workers are being treated to build Dubai into what it is and these foreign maids being treated like dirt from the children all the way up to the parents, I simply cannot.
Cases of abuse are not restricted to a country, it is within human nature. I am not defending it but there is not a single country that does not carry it's stories of abuse, so please refrain from slamming Dubai or the UAE with the abusers label. It is true that there were plenty of abuse cases in the past decade but what you do not know is that it is typically caused by the supervisors of certain projects, not the UAE government. And once light has been shed on the abuse cases, many laws which are IN EFFECT have been issued for the safety & well being of builders and domestic workers. If you condone a recent non-biased search/research and stop watching these orientalist and favoritism based videos you might understand what I mean. This is coming from a first-hand witness who lives in the UAE.
Me neither, I could never support such horrid system .
@@The3alooy I believe you are in denial of the magnitude of the issue in your country. I have done a lot of research on this and clearly this is a human rights violation and nothing is being done about it. Your government doesn't protect women nor do they care to. In fact, laws are passed to beat women.
@@shellh.5193 Claiming you have done a lot of research, care to share your source for the law you speak of? I bet you won’t because it does not exist. I personally invite you to visit, not as a tourist but as an observer. Let me know if you witness a single event of assault or find a person in need on our streets.
@@The3alooy Article 56 of the UAE's personal status code obligates women to “obey” their husbands. In 2010 the UAE's Federal Supreme Court issued a ruling, citing the UAE penal code, which sanctions beating and other forms of punishment or coercion by husbands on their wives providing the violence leaves no physical marks.
2016, still going on. All talk no action.
Lord Walker I’m Emarati and I agree with that documentary the thing about the UAE is that it’ll do anything to protect its reputation it has weird and scary laws I’m an ex Muslim and so here if you leave Islam you get killed that’s the punishment the punishment is death and so I need to live while faking everything i have severe depression where I can’t stop thinking about how can i kill myself but I can’t do anything I can’t even die and Rest In Peace bcs the punishment for suicide attempts is getting locked in prison for six months and paying 5000 DHS so FML :)

That's why I left UAE..
I've been working there for almost 5 years but the salary is not worth it... Working In UAE is my worst experience that I had..the law is not good and it's being unfair for us.. Base on my experience since I work in the emirates palace and my Company is Etihad hospitality its the most embarrassing nightmare that I had.. They hired me and they don't give me a fair salary... So it's better to work in the Philippines 🇵🇭 with out Filipino man power they don't have a good, kind, happy, respectful, loyal, hardworking, and honest employee's
We Filipino we give our best to give or to serve a good standard of services
Yes Filipino are greedy to LIVE in uae
Doing Boot Polish
And here, incase you r raped and u report to the police, you will actually be the one in prison becase we have no say here.
Phillipinios are some of the most loving people. It breaks my heart to see how they are treated. They need to stop going to these COUNTRIES. Dont risk the abuse and not getting paid. Without them they have to get off their asses.
Actually the arab countries are nothing without any other country people..
the worse thing is u cant raise ur voice against injustice
Dark side of Dubai. Rich arabs are exploiting these helpless people. I'm ashaming of my humanity when i see these kind of cruelties. Btw, Arabs drive their SUVs and do not care anything.
rolla They are heartless, they only care about their families, they term a maid as a weak element of the house.
why are Arabs so handsome when they are heartless?
@@yapgimkwee8842 you sound dumb

As someone who is so kindhearted, it literally ASTOUNDS me to know there are people like this on earth. the maids are human too! My family had many maids in the past and I was nothing but kind to them

We asked (him) about it and he said, 'It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul (till the Day of Resurrection) is predestined to exist, it will exist."'

Tears rolling down upon watching your video, coz I know the feeling. I know how does it feel being controlled, starved, insulted, and unable to have day-off. It is very hard to live in a place where no one can understand you as a person, and the hardest thing is, there's no escape provided the fact that, even personal documents (passport and national i.d) are confiscated by them. May these form of maltreatment, inequality and inhumanity may cease, hopefully.
Most employer on that country are evil I been to that country as housemaid and It's my worst happened of my life..no humanity nothing they treat us like animal..little salary 48 hours of working...not all employers are like that but most of them like 90% evil...
Money has made them blind! They treat every other peoples like Aliens from other planet. Just want their services and in return deal them inhumanily.
Badshah Rana The exception is Americans they don’t F with us.
I truly don't understand how people can be so cruel especially to someone who is making their life easier.
They are Muslim and think they are better then non muslims. This is literally how they are raised.
@@beehungry6190 really my son is Muslim in America and I have, I didn't raise him that way. Please stop with your blanket uneducated comments
As someone who is a quarter Arab (not from the uae) I would like to let you know not all Arabs are like that. These employers are monsters but not all are. My dad actually got promoted and we moved to Dubai for a year. My mum also decided to get a job just because she wanted to have a reason to employ a nanny and treat her well. (My mother is half Arabic) we got a nanny and we loved her. She was like an older sister to me. I will never forget the day we moved back home to Australia and she went back to the Philippines. She had to leave at 4 in the morning and I couldn’t sleep the whole night because I was so upset. I cried for the whole night and when the time came for her to leave my mum and I broke down in tears. I couldn’t imagine a life without her after living with her for a year. Watching her leave through the door not knowing when I would see her again made me terrified. My mother also had a job to help support our family since everything in Dubai is very expensive. We got into many fights with each other but only as sisters. We would have those fights that only sisters would. Nothing worse. I love her like a sister or even like a second mum. We have her good salary, we fed her well. We told her our house was hers. We would give her 2 hours to help my mum clean the house (she didn’t do it on her own) and while my mum was at work for 4 hours she would look after my younger siblings and then we wold give her the rest of the day off. Most people would say that you have to call us madam and sir but we let her call us by her first names. She called me and my siblings by our nicknames but still showed respect to my parents. She still called them madam and sir. We would watch tv shows with her. We didn’t give her a day of the week off. There wasn’t a certain day. If there was a day she wanted to go out we would let her. She would always take me out with her. We would let her go into the kitchen whenever she wanted to get something to eat or drink. We would let her take naps if she felt sick. We would take her to the doctors if it seemed serious. Her mum died while she was staying. We let her go to her funeral and we continued to help her and let her mourn and grieve the death of her (her mother had converted to Islam about 4 years before dying.) we wouldn’t dare hurt her. She, my mum and I liked Turkish shows. But they couldn’t be translated to English and only some would have subtitles. Even if me and my mum loved the pens without subtitles we wouldn’t watch them. We would only watch the ones which she would understand so we could enjoy them as a family after my siblings had fallen asleep. Then she would go downstairs to her bedroom and we would go to ours and the next day she’ll help us again. Im not sure if she’d like me putting her really name here so I’m gonna use her nickname. Thank you so much Jozie. I hope to see you again soon! 💖

“They like to put themselves in the victim position” 😧😧😧😧
So out of touch with reality.
Fillipinas are the most sweet people. I am sorry this is happening to you. There are Ethiopian mades as well who share similar stories.
This is against Islam to treat another human being like this. Those Arabs they think they better than their maids but Insha Allaah Allaah will punish you hard
Islam originated from us Arabs ma man and our prophet is Arabic so be careful bout insulting "arabs" but if your not a Muslim or Arabic go ahead insult me as much as u want idgf
zahra dirie Allah will punish them
If sisi doesnt represent islam and gulf states doesnt then what does represent islam?
hasoon al shamsi but it's doesn't mean Arabs should abuse theirs because our prophet(p.b.u.h)did taught us that
They shouldn't abuse their maids
Don't go to arabs country...much better you work in hongkong!

Am in UAE but the people am working for they don't care about the worker the only thing they want its their work done at all time no off days ,insults and no respect
But they want you to respect them I wonder how .how can someone work for 2yrs without a day off ?Arab's mtaeda hell nyinyi wote
Why would anyone work for this devils .
Go to the office you came from and ask for another place.
joseph wanyoike they have to respect us. I pay the salary for the maids and if she doesn’t respect me then there will be big problems. Filipinos think you’re like a queen when you’re just a maid
It's true,I am a nanny in Lebanon and the kids can be nasty sometimes,you try to raise them to be noble human beings but they turn out just like their parents(it really hurts me to see alittle boy raised by me then he changed when he turned one years old).
Life in gulf countries is hard and it's hell,we live by the grace of God.I just pray that I finish my remaining months and go home 🇰🇪🇰🇪 in peace
when i see this trust me i can say GOD BLESS AMERICA and Americans and support our troops in middle east who is fighting for the humanity. I myself a muslim and American
Thanks alot

Hi Paul, I lived in middle east and every frame of your video is nothing but a tip of the iceberg. The conventional media, from all over the world, does not have an iota of the courage you have shown in filming this video. God bless you brother for bringing it to the notice of sleeping idiots all over the world. I must also mention here that ISLAM encourages slavery and still nobody talks about it. May god bless you and I am saying this from the bottom of my heart. let there be a global campaign against this inhuman treatment of people happening from decades in Arab Countries.
Islam also expects the right to sex slaves.
Heard about the country oman 🇴🇲 terrible people, treat their maids like shit
When I lived in the UAE, many maids would only work for Western families. Arabs and even Russians NO. We had a nanny and a maid. Both were paid 2000 AED per month, could eat anything in the fridge, one trip home per year and worked only 8 to 9 hrs 6 days. Plus each had their own proper bedroom with ensuite. They did everything with a smile, we were very grateful and they were happy and loyal. After 5 years we left the UAE but made sure they went to good western families. We helped them find employers.
Do Russian abused their house maid.
my wife is a filipina so i speak up for them as a nation of good people not to be exploited by arab nations justice should prevail
You must be 80 years old
My friend's mother is phillipino and their UAE citizens and they speak Tagalog with their maids. And honestly, I love their maids they always greet me so happily. Not all maids are treated bad. Many of my friend's maids and I've heard from my friends at school they say they're just like family. I'm a citizen and my family doesn't have maids for over 10 years so when I was 8 or 9 we didn't have any maids even though we are 8 people in one house.
Thank you paul for posting this . I am from india But many indians dont know about these condition of dubai. Some imagine dubai is heaven.
If you can prove domestic violence from sister wives, press charges.
I.don't think all nations are bad but I.will never go Arabs country to work so sad to hear all this things :'(
I’m from Dubai , everything you see in this video is completely true and there are some cases where it is worse. Thankfully all the maids I know are treated like my sisters, and my mother works in a place where she helps the maids being abused. Not all Arabs are like this though , but I will say it is pretty common for maids to be abused. But I would like to add one point and that is the whole passport fiasco , our maids used to have passports until a maid , who we trusted and treated like a friend , stole a lot of our belongings including expensive watches and designer stuff and fled the country. So that is why we keep them , but if they just asked to leave we would let them go. Also , it’s not always the maids who are being abused , in some cases the maids are abusers. When I was in the 5th grade I accidentally pushed my maid as I was running away from my brother and we were playing tag , the maid then proceeded to hit me, I told my mom and my mom just waited for her contract to end and then made her go back to her country. My mom told me to be on my best behavior because the maid could poison me or something so I had to be nice. Also when I was little another maid poisoned my 2 month old brother by being reckless and my mother got mad and then the maid pulled out a knife from the drawer and started threatening my mom, the maid god sent back to her country the same day. Also when my brothers were little (4 or 5 years old) our maid would take them to her room and beat them with a belt and told them that if they told my mom that she would beat them more , but we only found this out after the maid was fired and my brothers understood she couldn’t hurt them anymore. These are just some of the cases I personally faced with maids. But it’s very inhumane to trap them and mistreat them and I try my best to help maids from other families that are being mistreated.
I think staying employer house isn't good idea.
So you don’t feel any shame for outing yourself as a slave keeper ?
I'm very sorry but the ppl of the UAE and Saudi are neither human beings nor Muslims, God only knows what the hell they are and where they are going to go on the day of Yawm al-Qiyāmah......
You sell for them the material
Sure just paint 37 mill people with one brush. You saw one documentary you don't know anything of how a lot of families treat their workers. just goes to show how ignorant so many people are.
I just pray to the people of our country Uganda to be safe in Jesus's name
Your nationality people are really trying here but no good salary and they dont wanna go back home
Amen
Ugandans hmmm
They are one of the most exploited and enslaved set of people in UAE here.
In Jesus’s name
Apparently I need help ..my life is in danger
i witnessed this at a home in dubia, i was appalled how they treated these poor girls, and their drivers, they are slaves,,,( they even tried it with me but im uk), i got out,, but only just,, i would never work for these people in any their homes

Hollywood would never make a movie about any of this.
I was in Saudi Arabia on Hajj and two police officers didn't even want to help me when I was lost even with my United States ID . Allah bless the other two police officers that help me later .
For your information, and I have lived in the UAE for 25 years, The only embassy that helps its own workers, if they can get to it is the Phllippines. The rest, Forget it ! To much money and parties. I say well done to the Philippines for trying to help your own folk!! And as a western, the same goes for my lot the British Embassy, Don't go there for help, waste of space!
This is really good content and really gives a lot of perspective on situations like this, you should really do more videos of this sort
PEOPLE WE NEED TO SHARE THIS. We only see bloggers and influencers posting nice vacation photos. They need to see what kind of government they are supporting by traveling there
Great documentary. Ignore those islamophophia comments, I'm a British Muslim living in the UAE and I am glad you are highlighting this important issue.
being a nanny is not easy work but I'm glad coz my sponsor not treat me bad...I love Abu Dhabi..not all local family is bad most of them has good heart...
No one deserves to be oppressed or be abused. Equality and the sense of human care is a must no matter the culture or ethnicity or race of a person...let's be kind to one another regardless of the life status . Wishing and praying for the best for all the overseas workers around the globe...
Comments will not be based on "racism" as the objectionable way those maids are being treated by some of those "employers" is based on their religion and ideology towards women and non Muslims.
I thank the Lord, for leading me to this. Protection of my nephew and Nieces who wanted to go to work in the Middle East to Work.
There is no other country in the middle east where foreign workers are treated with love, respect and gives decent salary than Israel. Almost if not all Arabs/Muslims hate Israelis but they turn out to be more civilized and humane to their workers. Huh $200? That is only two weekends pay for me if I don't use my day off. There are few employers who try to abuse their workers by taking them to other family members' house to clean or wash the dishes during sabbath but that is against the law. Any domestic workers or caregivers can refuse, call their agencies and leave work. Physical and sexual is a big NO NO!!! I love it here so much. BRAVO ISRAEL! LONG LIVE!!!
thank God ...I did like to work in isreal ...its my dream country
how can i get that opportunity?am in Dubai
I would like to work there
Actually I am from UAE but not all people do like this but there are too
I live in a rich house that we have draivers and maids and shef but we never did anything like to them
A back story I actually had a favorite babysitter that work with as and she was the best worker in the house for 6 years and then she is now in her country
But I never forget her so you people that in the comments writing bad comments about 'all Arabian ' like that just don't say all of us 👍
Not all Arabs are like this
My family treats them very well and they eat the same food that we eat and sometimes we take them to Malls for them to enjoy
I'm not saying that this doesn't happen but not everyone is like this
true
thx not all bad some of people z not gd
You say them why not say their names be more polite
Asma Almannaei I'm sure your family is great. But when things like this are on social media it means that there is a problem, BIG PROBLEM
Susan Sandford what do you get from knowing her maids' names? you are just trying to show she lacks respect towards people who works for her. Like you don't have any discrimination, bad manners and racism in your country . We dont need you hypocrites to tell us how well we fare in regard to respecting others
The Philipines Gov need to solve their internal problems & create more work for these women so that they don’t have to work in UAE. God protect these women 🙏🏻
I am the victim also im kuwaiti employer. My employer and whole the members of his family sometimes good but most of the time they are bad. The foods is not good because their leftover me and my co housemaid we eat that leftover. My co housemaid only 3 months she go back home because of maltreatment and me I stayed for more than 6 months but I suffered to much he slam me. And realized I suffered to much that's why I runaway. 😢
Thank you for sharing your story, I hope things are better for you now :)
i am thankful that i found a good and kind employer here in qatar....i already 12years hre in one employer and the same house ya allah thank you so much
Hi how are you
I married a rich man , and I seen my own mother in law beaten her maid in Jordan Amman . I am Mexican American girl my heart cry out so much . He own business in Dubai , I pay them , but I never treat them like my mother in law did. In all honestly .
Please sponsor my studies😭
i am jn qatar and i love my nanny so much! she has been so great! she has been with us more than 5 years ! I feel so bad for u! and the other people out their ! im praying for u, as an arab i feel ashamed 😢
I went to Dubai for vacation and stay there for quite long time. And yes I saw many things such on beach whole Arab family was eating and enjoying, two maids were standing. Family were not given any food to them. Arab family children were pushing them throwing sand on them. Felt very bad for them.
Bloody idiots🤡🤡🥺🥺😔
i am a housemaid too in UAE. and for 4 months i dont get salary.
Sorry to hear about your situation. I would suggest that you speak to your agency - maybe they can talk to your employers. If that doesn't work, speak to your embassy.
It's been a month since you commented. I pray you have found a way out of that situation. Please try -- don't let them continue to abuse you.
don't work in Dubai.. they are lows shiet. go back your country relax your mind and go to other country and work.
thank you all for the beautiful messages. now i am in Qatar,and work in a Royal family
***** fuck of frog.
Shame on Arabs (natives) doing this in Dubai. Your grand kids! when oil runs out will pay dearly .... shame shame
I totally agree with you but the uae wont have to worry about running out of oil because if they do they already get their money from tourism and that is more than how much they get from oil
thank god my mother loves our maid and she treat her as sister. to be honest. “not trying to be racist” most of the abusive lady’s in uae are yemeni woman who’s NOT from uae i’ve seen a lot
i remember i saw a maid in our school with her face half burned, i asked her what happened “if she won’t mind me asking” she told me her yemeni boss spilled boiled water on her face i even told her to call the police at her but she said she wasn’t allowed to have a phone i really feel sorry for her.
Definitely worth watching for all who work away from home and for employer
I've been to Saudi Arabian and the United Arab Emirates all the people doing all the manual work are people from other countries. This is the main reason why diabetes and obesity is is high in Saudi Arabia in the Gulf States
ashamed to be arabic
you have to be ashamed
+Edgar Tapia Arabs need to change
there shit as a muslim am ashamed
No! Don't take any notice of these other comments. Every culture has its bad things. Its true that the things in the Middle East are indeed bad, especially for women, but you didn't cause it. You're in a position to change it, even if it's just by being mindful of what's happening and not supporting it. Don't be ashamed of being who you are.
As a muslim you know that's not how a true follower of Islam treats others
This man said that it's not about the rape ,it's about the money ,can you believe him
Allah sees all ! Those that mistreated other's will receive their reward from Allah and you will not like it. And those that protect the offenders are responsible also. Allah says that"The muslim is never the aggressor and to never harm anything."
I worked in dubai before its was miserable the boss wants to beat u, i run out i slept in the street for two month .a ugandan lady security help me out untill i travel to my country its so painfull God help all house maid that are working.
what incredible discontent people those must be, to have the urge of making others suffer.
UAE only for emaratis all foreigners out
You just earned yourself a subscriber sir
Sad so many people have to deal with evil people to make a living
It’s putting yourself in a dangerous situation when you work within a rich household. Some rich people have no respect for their house maids regardless of how hard they work they don’t view them as human beings. The solution is for the governments of the countries to assist individuals in finding work in their own country so they don’t have to leave. Too many horror stories and deaths but the employers will not change so the maids need to not go there.
at least phillipina girl are getting good employer ! phililipina are the 1st choice of arabic,british,european,irani,lebanon etc family. behind this srilanka,nepalese,indian,ethipoian,kenyan are 2nd choice with cheap salary of pakistani or indian employer.
my advice is not only for phillipina,it s for all my sister & sibling "don't come to work as house maid"
This because they can easily manipulate and cheat. U can't even defend urself. Whereas all the other countries u have listed can't take that shit u take. U can't dare and Indian or African. They even use and rape you knowing ur hungry and dump idiots that can easily be fool
Philippinas are very clever and demanding.always troubling the employers.they are not at all innocents.mostly busy in dirty activities on weekends .
Not in europe🤣
You did a good deed. Many people are scared to speak against Arabs in Dubai. I saw animals being tied in sweating heat on the dessert, birds blind folded for a picture. If this is the case, what would they do with dairy animals? They keep tigers and lions as domestic animals in their homes. Just because they have the ability. I am sorry to know that humans are equally mistreated
majority of maids are abused it's not just soley in dubai and abu dhabi :/
alot of them just happen to be in the uae
I have been in UAE getting to 2yrs and I know what am talking about. The issue is, some employers(boss) think they have the opportunity to do anything they like so far as they have given you Visa. They always want you to do what they say even if it's against your RIGHTS. Their expectations are soo demanding and they don't give mutual respect to their workers. They think they have MONEY so they can do whatever they wish. God will punish them SEVERELY.
on that 600,00 domestic worker in UAE.....I am included to that no.....
I came here in dubai since 2009 after graduation.......Up to. now im still.here with the same employer.....Ive been here for 6 years now,.....sometimes life gets bad sometimes its ok.......Every 1 or 2 years i went for vacation in philippines for 1 month.......I dint change my employer bcause they are nice to me and give me openly.....If wat they eat i also eat samething. 3 times aday.......1 day day off........I Just lucky maybe to found my employer like them.....
Wat i feel really bad wen i go out like in malls or playinv area to see my other kababayan or any made nationalities having a black mark on there parts of thebody that can bee seen.......I feel horrible and wanted to cry sometimes that y other employer treathen them like that and still allow them to go out with all those black mark.....its pretty obvios they got hurt by them........We sometimes liitle chance to say hi and talk abit.....wedont have much time to talk,i did not talk but i just wanted to hear her feelings instead....encourage her that just think that maybe there are other lots of maids who experience bad morethan u.....so Hangon and always talk to god on ur quiete times......im sure it will help u somehow if u have noone to talk too .....hes always listening to us....

Really sad, here in Brazil there are cases of abuse also......so embarrassing !!!
My boss is torturing me .I have no help
where are you
If you haven't left, then defffff leave. Dignity is priceless.
Sometimes they accuse the maid of stealing 😭😭😭😭😭the work is too much no off especially in Saudi Arabia, salary is peanuts and we have to buy our personal things and they are supposed to do it
im a UAE citizen and i do have a maid which i pay 2000 dirhams a months and she personally told me that she has gained weight since she started working for me .not all of us treat them like shit and almost all maids get the rights they deserve
cool job! Thanks a lot for the video.
Thanks mate
if these maids will seek justice probably the arab government will put them in jail and make their people innocent. *ehem*
I worked in Abu dhabi for one year as a engineer and i witnessed that treatment with employees is not at all good they treat every expat as their slave,(except for vanilla skin) even i underwent mistreatment but had to complete atleast one year of contract,this was the reason i left uae even if i had a good job with fair salary...and i dont regret my decision of resigning,there might be a few good people but most of them are mean and unprofessional. I wld never goto such country again if iam treated in such a way neither should anyone. May god help all the maids who are undergoing this everyday.
Some of them have bad hearts
Am currently in UAE,Abu Dhabi,I came here DEC last year from Kenya to do house work bt what I encountered with ma first employer made me ran away,I went back to the office in sharja then they found me another employer,yes my madam is good but paying my salary is the problem ,,n also her husband dispice me for no reason,, I have a kid back home so if am not payed it becomes a problem,,spmetyms what I go thru makes me think of running away, ,coz I do everything including washing cars ,cleaning ,watching after kids n working in my madams relatives houses,, no off,no vacation, sleeping very late,am feeling soooo tired

Liars liar and liar shame on Arab
Derp 098 good dear God bless you
What else could you possibly say? You Arabs are bad news! All of you! It's your nature.
My husband is arabic and were stay to my husband family...and I agree to this documentary...this is true story...before my mother in law have a african housemaid she left because they are treating the housemaid same like animal...they not allowed her to take a rest even she have sick and she dont have off and her salary is low...thats why she left them...even the aunties of my husband there have housemaid they not stay longer they not finish they contract papers....everytime they left....
I lived in the UAE as a teacher, and everything being said is, unfortunately, true. It was heartbreaking to see.
Ok i’m an Italian who was born and raised in UAE my whole life, do not generalize drama queen and don’t bite the hand that fed you, i know heaps of very good and amazing Emirati employers here livi happily with their domestic helpers, most of this abusers are from non-Emirati employers especially the Lebanese
And yet you felt the need to reply because? Firstly, the topic at hand was maids being abused not maids being treated kindly. So, of course I commented on what I observed on this topic. Do you think I’m so stupid that I don’t know that there are good people who are kind to their maids? 🤔 as for “biting the hand that fed me” your mentality is exactly part of the problem. Just because someone offers a service and receives pay does not make that person deserving of being treated unfairly. I met and was blessed to create long term friendships with some amazing Emiratis, but I also witnessed first hand improper treatment of maids as well. There will always be good and bad in every situation; however, the bad was what was the topic unfortunately. Be blessed. ❤️
"Expected to do sexual FAVORS??" That's not a favor it's RAPE
I am from the UAE and I treat my maids like my friends i don't know why others abuse them, not cool..
I don't believe you Mrs...the story is so disheartening.... Its same every where in Arab gulf....
I have been working there but hi, I wouldn't advise anyone to be employed as a housemaid in any Arab country. It's my first experience and never again will I. It's a hard, stressing and abusive life.
This is not what islam teaches us
we hv to be polite to person of any social status may they be a king or a slave they deserve same respect
Really??????? Are you sure???? loll...you joke!
For my part, .. actually im currently working here in abu dhabi.. my employer, the family THIS FAMILY they are so nice... the only problem is we dont have day off .. that the only problem but in case in Food they gave us everything we want.. what we want to cook we can cook.. if we want to go outside we can but in limited time but its ok. they treat us well.. my madam said We are human beings also so treat us well because without us they dont know how to live .. i love my employer. thanks to GOD 😄😄
