ReplyDeletemy mother employed at Dubai as housemaid since august 2019 under the Indian family. Since few months continuously she is facing verble harassment from her employer ( female ). with the current situation of corona virus since two weeks Dubai has locked downed. But this Indian lady without concerning even about her family bring outsiders and services in to the house. Also day before yesterday she attempted to chase my mother away from house. not only that but also she didn't allow to cook at home because of that my mother most of the time suffer from hunger. that's become more worse these days because of covid 19 she cannot go outside from home for take food. Friday is mother's leave day and she was starving in side her room because of that Indian ladies behavior. She always threaten my mother by saying that canceling her visa. my mother is an innocent and she has working experience more than 6 years as a housemaid at Saudi and Kuwait but she never faced this type of employer before. Some times this ladies behaviors convey that she has some psychological disorder. However with her harassment now my mother become more physically and psychologically weak. please I need some guiding from UAE authorities to overcome this situation and need to securer my mothers life because now she is in depressed. Can you get any actions against this indian lady according to UAE labor rules ?
