Saudi... U.A.E...Qatar...Kuwait... Spot the difference? There is no difference. All treat their migrant workers like dirt. Sweat box third world countries that have been fortunate enough over the years to make their name through the oil factor. Typical Middle East really isnt it?

Migrant workers make a fraction of what locals make in Dubai, they are offered no rights whatsoever and have to constantly worry about deportation. The article only describes an inconvenient truth that many people in the UAE choose to ignore. Dear Manal,

Your attitude, and not that of maids is bad. Migrant workers make a fraction of what locals make in Dubai, they are offered no rights whatsoever and have to constantly worry about deportation. The article only describes an inconvenient truth that many people in the UAE choose to ignore.

If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have known that such a place still exists. Well written and heart wrenching article. But even without reading it, unless you are bloody blind, you know whats happening out there. I have never ever lived in a more skin, class and status conscious society.
