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.

She is a picture of a cruel boss…no need r her to have one at any country…she is not deserve to have helper…she should serve her self and treat herself as she want to be

SONDOS AL QATTAN, YOU ARE THE WORST ANIMAL I’VE EVER HEARD AND SEEN THAT IS REPRESENTED BY SATAN!

I am hoping that all people knows you will critisize u being sych an idiot woman.you cannot accept d fact that pilipino hauzmaid are too much demand because of our work,hospitality and being kind.do you have one of that attitude.
please stop sending ofw to middle east countries specially domestic helpers…they are always in great danger from their employers..
This idiot woman she treat a Filipino like an animals wheres is your heart wheres is your mind say Alhamdullah bcoz you have to much money but dont treat a Filipino like a animal where human also your such a stupid kwuaitia hamara inti mara kok inti wara chalbaaaa????
Maybe she treated her housemaid as a slave also that’s why she is against the new rule..
Even from Indian nurses and doctors passport and degree certificates are in custody of hospital owners treating so badly, bcz of that they can’t raise their voice. Nothing is new in Kuwait. It is hard luck. If you go alive, healthy it is our luck. Money is power.
Dont ever ever give that a filipino worker she wants a slave not a worker.hhhhmmmppp
That idiot is a nothing but a tiny piece of a sheet and a real pain in the ass. I wonder where she was in 1992 when the Iraqis attacked Kuwait, she could have learned a good lesson in life, if was deep throated.
