To discourage the abuse of household helpers in Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom’s labor ministry is cooking up a shame campaign that places abusive employers and recruitment offices in a black list.
Such a list will include employers and recruitment offices accused of abuses in dealing with domestic workers, and will be published on a government website, according to a report on Arab News.
“It is unacceptable to allow some citizens who abuse domestics to recruit new ones without punishment,” the report quoted Majed bin Anzan, director of business development and sales at Alam Company, as saying during a workshop on domestic labor visas.
Anzan added that the abuse of household workers “harms the Kingdom’s reputation in labor-exporting countries and affects the future of the whole recruitment process.”
He added the black list will feature the names of citizens “who delayed maids’ pay, withheld their passports or violated their rights.”
Arab News said Saudi Arabia’s Labor Ministry will introduce the blacklist to the new version of the Musaned website.
Meanwhile, Yahya Al-Maqbool, head of the recruitment committee at the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said Musaned would streamline the recruitment market.
Musaned should also resolve obstacles in the recruitment process, added Al-Maqbool.
“Domestics must be protected from mistreatment by some employers,” Al-Maqbool said. —Joel Locsin/KBK, GMA News
