are you aware, that when in their own countries, maids are showed contracts that detail a monthly salary of more than QR2000? and that they pay money for this privilige of being given a job overseas? - money that can amount to thousands of Riyals, just to come to another country for a better life!

Are you aware, that once they are here, they are given a contract that by far understates their salaries, and don't have any option but to sign, since going back to their own country will mean they have to find another way to pay off the debt they made to get here in the first place...

Have you ever spoken to your maid and asked her what her original contract stated?
