This is the second such post appearing within a week at Qatar Living depicting the plight of employees at some companies where the management treats workers worse than slaves. The situation is all the more sorrowful as both cases reported at QL within the week relate to the weaker sex. The earlier post was from a woman who was contemplating on committing suicide. Her post clearly reflected the state of desperation she was in.
It is true the authorities in Qatar are doing an excellent job in keeping crime in the country to a very low level. Every now and then we get to read about the achievements of such alert teams of people who stay awake so that the residents of the country can sleep well.
However, what about such "white collar" crimes and criminals. The authorities should look into such matters whenever they hear of them, carry out an enquiry, and if the complaints are genuine, take action against these unscrupulous people to stop them from the dirty games they play. If such steps get taken and the culprits are punished, these too should be published so that it sends a clear message to others who believe they can carry on with such immoral and shameful activities in Qatar with no fear of reprisals or punishment.
Is there any such organization here where a simple phone call or an email will get the ball rolling and also get such employees the justice and protection they are yearning for? One could suggest the name of National Human Rights Committee, but there are situations as the posts that have appeared at QL over the past several days that indicate where an employee is unable to reach them. This gives the crooks an upper hand making them feel as victors.
As a suggestion, National Human Rights Committee could call the ladies in the two cases that have come up at QL, and then help them out. That would indeed be great of NHRC if they do so. NHRC should not keep their eyes shut over such incidents whenever they get reported over the social media such as QL. They have the powers to put things in order and they should come to the aid of people in such distressful situations which force an employee to think of suicide as the only remaining option to get out of the rigid controls of such employers.
A step in this direction from the authorities would have a great impact and make workers enjoy staying here. They would then take back home excellent memories of Qatar, whenever they return.
