Additional reaction to the treatment of some Arab people to their household workers rooted from their old culture which is not already applicable at the present time.

So,my message for them is this.To those who are really moved-on from the past by accepting education and not just relying their minds on their old tradition and beliefs..

“Friends, help your people to gain understanding that these world cannot function without the help of others.”

“Put your foot in our shoes and feel the pain ..then you will know how to feel the real feeling of human being.”

We are not angry because of that.. we feel sorry instead for you.
Because we do not think you know the meaning of love of service for people and country.

For some who are already enlighten.
Thank you from the heart of people who’s willing to give you an honesst service with real confidence that we could make your life easier.

That was fair.I think we should keep it that justice manner regardless of race,religion etc.I am working here in Lebanon and my boss are good.

Can we first put in our mind that people are coming here to make an honest living?I was deeply hurt with these news because many Lebanese people are good,educated and treated foreign workers fairly while some are putting stain on the flag and faces of people of Lebanon.

We are brothers and Sisters and we can make a solution for this matter and live harmoniously if we just stop descriminating people.

we are commanded to “To love our neighbour as we love ourselves.”

Make a difference and start to look at love not on hatred.

On behalf of all filipino Workers here in Lebanon and the rest of the world,we thank you for being vigilant and open-minded for these catasrophies that encircling our lives.

We can cure this illness by spreading understanding,hope and a genuine love and care for people regardless of their race and religion.

PEACE.

im a migrant worker i felt so angry when i read this article. mostly arabs they think that there maids are slaves. this arabs treat badly to there maids didnt give the salary of there maid. what kind of human being this people. migrants travelled thousand miles for work in return of hope that they can help their family back home. maltreatment of maids and workers only happen in the middle east. shame on those arabs treating inhuman praise to those arabs who appreciate the people working around them.

For that Lebanese woman, try to put this on your mind.
no person shall be subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment.
every person has a right to get an impartial and speedy justice.
and its good that justice was given for my fellow Filipino.

justice is for all!

As a lebanese i am deeply ashamed of the behavior of some ***holes who dare call themselves lebanese and beat on little girls who’ve traveled half the world for work. young ladies who come to work here should be treated with respect, they are not ‘servants’ they are employees and while i think the woman should’ve been forced to pay a larger sum of money to the young lady i think its a step in the right direction.
Maybe this will force other women to think twice before they treat their employes like slaves.
