wow..im so late in commenting on this blog, well im doin a survay, like a college project, n i have chosen the problems faced by housemaids in kuwait, you guys wont believe the things i have found about the way these maids are treated in their employers homes, its soo freaking heart breaking, i found this maid who was asked to sleep with the dog outside the house, another one was beaten up so badly only cuz she ate from the food that was cooked for the members of the house, she was asked to eat the left overs, another one was raped continuesly for 10 days n wen the wife of that employer found out she started hitting the maid cuz she thinks that the maid seduced her husband, their are some more horrible cases in Kuwait that are found but the govt does not do anything about it. Gosh i wish i could send this to ppl who are human enough to understand the pain of these maids. Their are some asholes who recruit maids that are very youngm 13, 14 year old children and really the govt dosent care, n these maids dont get to go home for soo many year. :(

Wow Shrink thats alot of money. It’s much less costly to get a housekeeper in Lebanon. If I was paying my housekeeper 500 kd a month I would put chaines on my door to make sure she doesn’t go anywhere while I’m out :)

i totally sympathise with ure situation, its not easy having someone new every few months, they get into your house, your life, you space, they know the ins and outs and then they go, with out an evident reason!
Here in london, lots of those house keepers run away the minute they land, they have already made their calculations. if a house keeper gets paid 45-50 kd a month. In London, She earns not less than £8 pounds AN HOUR,that is the lowest payable rate allowed by the gov, she works felexible hours and in multiple house holds in addition to claiming benefits and disability allowances from the government, who also provides them with a place to stay and free medical support!! that adds up to not less than £500-900 a month, an average of 300KD.

There are great housekeepers (I find the term maids degenerating) that are in bad houses/families. And vice-versa ..

The way I see it, someone probably convinced her that it was the smart thing to do. Many housekeepers run away in London, they are convinced that they can find better work elsewhere. While some do actually go on to do bigger and better things; the majority assimilate into the homeless/jobless population. Either that or become the masses that make up the sweat shops.
