By the way, I have been told and it was also published in the newpaper in Dubai, that those poor things are getting into prostitution against their will.
As it was correctly mentioned, they can't complain then. Also in this case they are the real prisoners in the houses where they "work". They are not allowed to show their faces outside. It is really terrible!!!
Eventually after few months they go to jail, have to pay QAR 9,000 penalties (where are they going to get it from? from their families or the savings they made) and wait for their deportation without any possibility to come back. They will also have bad police records, which will affect them in the future. So, does the risk worth the reward? I doubt.
On the penalties- I have been told that if your maid ran away and you did not inform the police- you pay a penalty of QAR 40,000. The person who got your maid work for him/her illegally (without sponsorship transfer) will pay QAR 60,000 and the maid will pay QAR 9,000 (it is 6 months work without spending a penny at 1,500 salary)- just doing calculation for you.
So, if someone really being tortured in the house and being expoitated is better off just go to police, complain about the employer, get compensated and go home. They can look for other job then.
Good night sleep is good for health.
