Thousands of women migrant domestic workers in Qatar are being severely exploited and sexually abused in ‘utterly miserable conditions’, according to a new report by an international human rights group.The 77-page Amnesty International report titled ‘My sleep is my break: Exploitation of domestic workers in Qatar’ has uncovered the appalling conditions women – primarily from the Philippines, Indonesia and Sri Lanka – face on a daily basis.
In the report, women are said to be lured to Qatar on the basis of false promises over salaries and working conditions – only to be made to work extreme hours and seven-day weeks.Some women also described how they were also subjected to sexual and physical violence.
The report, which draws upon interviews with 52 female domestic workers, revealed that in some cases women in Qatar are being made to work up to 100 hours per week, with no days off.
Under Qatari law there are no limits on working hours for domestic workers and no requirement to allow them a day off, and domestic workers are unable to lodge complaints with Qatar’s Labour Ministry – a situation which Amnesty is calling on the Qatari authorities to remedy urgently.
