A Kuwait celebrity sparked outrage on social media after saying domestic workers in her country should not be given any days off.
Sondos Al Qattan, a social media celebrity and make-up artist, posted a video on Twitter criticizing the new rules for hiring Filipino domestic workers in Kuwait, StepFeed reported. Al Qattan said domestic workers should not be allowed to keep their passports and should not be given one day off per week.
“How can you have a ‘servant’ in your house who gets to keep their passport with them? If they ran away and went back to their country, who will refund me?” Al Qattan said in the video.
She said because of the new rules, she would not hire a Filipino domestic worker. Her video went viral and sparked outrage online. Hundreds of people defended domestic workers, saying they are not slaves and cannot be made to work non-stop. Some said domestic workers were human beings, not machines.
“Why don’t you work seven days a week and give your passport to your boss. Where’s your humanity?” one person asked on Twitter. “Treat her well and let her keep her passport because she isn’t your slave, but an employee who has responsibilities and rights,” another said.
Don’t hire and do it by yourself… Let’s see how’ is your your house looks like… How is your bath room and rooms and kitchens looks like? And most of all how your under wear and under arms clothes looks like? If nobody taking care it properly… I’m hundred percent sure how messy and smelly your house! ????Filipinas are more hygienic than you Arab ladies… No matter what how expensive your under wear and perfume I’m pretty sure your under arms and behind is as smelly as ripe guavas and rotten onions, and as smelly as rotten clams!.. . So be humble and be human! You are not perfect as you think!…… ????????
How you treat others shows what kind of person you truly are.
Treat them well and they’ll be as loyal as a family member. Treat them like you’re a monster giving them no rest, freedom and rights– of course they will want to run away from you. Who would want to stay on a one house with heartless and inconsiderate person.
