Call for action to stop maids running away

DOHA Manpower recruiting agencies have identified ill treatment and pay disparity, as the two main reasons for maids running away from their sponsor’s house. With the pay for Filipino maids fixed at QR1,500 per month, those of other nationalities are pushing for parity. Recruiting agency bosses said they were the biggest losers in the present scenario, as they bear the cost of bringing the maid into the country, are held responsible if the maid escapes from the sponsor’s house and also sued if the maid alleges ill-treatment.
