The Dubai Police General Command has warned members of the public against hiring runaway domestic workers, especially during Eid and other occasions, as they could pose a serious risk to society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The force also urged the community members to immediately report absconding domestic workers to maintain the security and stability of the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colonel Ali Salem, Director of the Infiltrators Department at Dubai Police, said they arrested 948 runaway domestic workers of different nationalities since the beginning of Ramadan as part of a campaign they had launched against all types of violators who breach the employment contract for domestic workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Col. Salem also pointed out that the campaign is ongoing throughout the year. However, they intensify efforts during the holy month as the number of domestic workers’ employment contract violators increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Runway maids can pose a security risk to society and those dealing with them. They choose to escape from their sponsors so they could work at different households and get paid hourly, so they make a lot of money in a short period under fake names and without legal documents,” he explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Col. Salem urged the public to report runaway domestic workers immediately and avoid hiring them as it can be difficult to track them in case a crime is committed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
