Violence Against Domestic Workers Negatively Affect International Reputation
A number of human rights activists lamented that cases of violence against domestic workers negatively affect the international reputation of Kuwait. They praised the domestic labor law enforced in 2015, reports Arab Times daily.
Human rights activist and former head of the Human Rights Center in Kuwait Lawyers Society Lawyer Sheikha Al-Jlaibi stressed that the issuance of the domestic labor law in 2015 and its executive decree in 2016 was quite delayed, as domestic workers have existed in Kuwait since 1960s.
Such a delay resulted in accumulation of several problems related to domestic labor. She said many individuals ignore the provisions of the law and treat their domestic workers with violence, which is a form of slavery as per certain criteria.
Al-Jlaibi revealed that many domestic workers have committed suicide or attempted to commit suicide due to bad and violent treatments they had to endure.
