Comments on: False Employment http://inkaleidoscope.wordpress.com/2008/07/17/false-employment/ A Kuwaiti & Middle Eastern literary blog magazine where writers and thinkers meet to exemplify, vivify, and stylistically liquefy Thu, 24 Dec 2009 11:23:29 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: justpassingthrough http://inkaleidoscope.wordpress.com/2008/07/17/false-employment/#comment-8261 justpassingthrough Mon, 28 Jul 2008 11:38:23 +0000 http://inkaleidoscope.wordpress.com/?p=165#comment-8261 Hadija, what I've always liked about your posts is that they're simply a direct hit of the hammer on the nail. This is one subject close to my heart, and I want you to take heart because in this dark sea of ignorance and abuse there does exist a legally sanctioned organization called The Kuwait Social Work Society http://www.q8sws.com/ Please please, anyone who reads this or sees a victim that is not protected by our current laws you can contact q8sws (contact info found on provided link). It is a human rights organization founded and run in obscurity by a small group of people that I perceive as modern angels. Remember these names: Bibi Nasser al-Sabah, Faisal Al-Massoud. The Kuwait Social Work Society. Know of a housekeeper rotting in jail after being raped or pushed out the 2nd floor window by her sponsor? Any domestic or other laborer who is suffering and has caught your attention? contact them PLEASE. They really do help these men/women. Ive asked before and they've answered. They make a difference for the mesaakeen and so can you. They are the people behind the minute changes you have seen over the last few years on minimum wage and any development on the bedoon rights, etc. Hadija, what I’ve always liked about your posts is that they’re simply a direct hit of the hammer on the nail.

We need to understand the problem before applying haphazard solutions that are difficult to implement.

My blame lies in the government of the maids and their families. Their government sells their citizens for money because its their best export...and families send their mother,daughters, sisters, even sons so that they can have money. I try my very best to follow the prophets teachings because he eats from the same plate as his servant (anas bin malik). I love this post.
