The simplest thing is to suggest to authorities is to build a dedicated facility where these domestic workers can go on their off days. A governmental facility where they can exercise, relax, chat and spend a documented one day off per week. This will ensure all domestic workers have one day off, and they can also complain to the authorities in case of abuse. employers will be more carefull when they know authorities are watching and that they see the worker once every week.

About 25 years ago, I remember a friend’s child was kidnapped at Disney. A Kuwaiti couple had kidnapped the young girl to take her to their country to work for them. They drugged her, changed her clothes, dyed, and cut her hair. Disney closed down every entrance and exit. Thank God her parents had a recent photo of their daughter. Everyone working Security looked at the faces of every child going out of the park and she was retrieved. These people think they are better than everybody else. I’d never let anyone go to work in the Middle East. Who knows if you’d ever see them again!

I hope y’all continue to rescue these young ladies

When I reached Fatou's segment I felt really sad. I'm glad people were compelled to help her and give her a better life.

The Kuwaiti government declined to comment further on Fatou's case and the people filmed selling the maids will face no criminal charges. This, in spite of a very senior member of the Kuwaiti authorities, the Head of the domestic worker's office, stating on camera that they had clearly broken the law. 😟 That tells you everything you need to know about these animals and the lack of value they place on the lives of people they consider to be beneath them.

Open your eyes people, there are evil people like Zucherberg who commit atrocities on a global stage in plain sight.
