These are the various preconceived notions that arise when one evokes the image of maids in Dubai; these are some of the common misconception that everyone thinks are true.<\/p>\n

All Maids in Dubai are Filipinos<\/strong>: This assumption is extremely common in several households, and can be justified because the Filipinos are the majority maid population inhabiting Dubai. Nevertheless, not all maids here are Filipinos; there is a sizable amount of maids who\u2019ve come here from the South Asian countries, African Countries, and other South East Asian Countries such as Indonesia. But in spite of this, it is the Filipino ones who are making relatively higher wages. This may be due to their proficiency with English and their natural skill in handling children.<\/p>\n

All Maids in Du\"maidsbai are Hired Legitimately<\/strong>: Human trafficking is a deplorable act and should be punished with the most\u00a0stringent punishment possible, because it is degrading the value of human beings to something smaller and inferior. But in spite of this, there are a profitable black market present here in Dubai. Embassies of countries may not be in amicable terms; therefore the laws pertaining to immigration are extremely hard to navigate through. This block in communication allows for illegal means, such as the black market to prosper. The crimes and penalties her in Dubai are extremely high for anyone caught with an illegally acquired maid, but there are people who still acquire maids in that manner.<\/p>\n

All Maids in Dubai Wear Uniforms<\/strong>: This may be quite true for the ones who are up for hire from independent Maid Agencies, where they are required to wear uniforms and shirts that represent their respective companies\u2019 logo. But this is not true for the ones that have been sponsored by individual families; they can wear whatever they wish, because they live inside their houses and can wear any clothes that they wish, although if they wear attire that is considered \"maidsinappropriate by the owners, they might have to change it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to sponsor maids in Dubai<\/strong>: Some people have the very wrong notion that the process of sponsoring a maid is a cinch and only mean selecting a particular member from a list of candidates, and the rest of process would happen by itself as the selected candidate herself\/himself would travel to the city on their own.\u00a0 In fact, this couldn\u2019t be farther from the truth. It is an extremely cumbersome process, which is why some people just prefer to hire them from an Agency instead. But if you want to know about the process in detail, you can find a helpful\u00a0article here<\/a><\/p>\n

All Maids in Dubai Have a Peaceful Life<\/strong>: \u00a0Dubai with its 2 million inhabitants is a modern cosmopolitan, and it attracts more and more people because of its prosperity. This includes the several maids who come from foreign lands with a thousand dreams, and although a great deal of them will find it fruitful, there still remains some whose lives have turned upside down, and they have never recovered. The treatment from their owners, the shambolic pay, the lack of free time have been a source hardship, but for the most part, they are living the life they wanted but with sacrifices being made for their loved ones.<\/p>\n

All Maids in Dubai are Hired Legitimately<\/strong>: Human trafficking is a depl\"maidsorable act and should be punished with the most stringent punishment possible, because it is degrading the value of human beings to something smaller and inferior. But in spite of this, there are a profitable black market present here in Dubai. Embassies of countries may not be in amicable terms; therefore the laws pertaining to immigration are extremely hard to navigate through. This block in communication allows for illegal means, such as the black market to prosper. The crimes and penalties her in Dubai are extremely high for anyone caught with an illegally acquired maid, but there are people who still acquire maids in that manner.<\/p>\n

Maids in Duba\"maidsi Aren\u2019t Highly Educated<\/strong>: \u00a0You will be surprised about the educational background of some of the maids found here in Dubai. Some of the maids who have emigrated from their home countries do so, not because they lack educational qualification \u2013 there are those who have possessed honors degree in commerce and other areas \u2013 but because circumstances force them to do so. The maids in Dubai<\/a> can of course get out of current maid status and go into field of work, altogether, but most of them don\u2019t because of the competition or lack of community.<\/p>\n

Do not have \u00a0preconceived notions about people determine the way you treat the people you hire work, they deserve the dignity they are guaranteed and it is the responsibility of the owners as well as the agents to take care of their well-being, although the final responsibility on the choices the individuals make rests upon their own heads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
