New conditions drawn up for Ethiopian domestic workers headed to UAE

New conditions drawn up for Ethiopian domestic workers headed to UAE

An Ethiopian official said the country’s government is close to lifting a ban on its nationals working in the UAE after reaching a labour agreement with authorities in the Emirates.

The treaty, expected to be made public in the next two months, would guarantee a minimum wage and insurance for Ethiopian maids and low-paid workers, the official claimed.

In July, the Ethiopian government banned women from coming to the UAE to work as maids after a series of complaints about serious physical and sexual abuse.

I would love to advice my people to stay home and find a good idea to make a living rather than dreaming about the so called good life in foreign land east,west or Mideast the reality is you are outsider no matter what. In Ethiopia under current EPRDF leadership there are many opportunity here is tips for you get in a good group with a good idea and ask for small inter-price business loan then you are on your foot for success,

This new rule\policy\condition is only on paper. There is no Enforcement clause.

So life will move on and the maids will suffer.We ought to learn from our neighbours from the south Kenya, Tanzania, or Uganda. You don't see maids flooding the airports in those countries to go to Gulf States.
The culture of using humans as exportable, hard currency earning items need to stop.

@ john john [Visitor]
I agree with on your comment "In Ethiopia under current EPRDF leadership there are many opportunity" Yes ! That is TRUE ! The problem is our brothers, and sisters in the diaspora always lying to the young generation by sending a picture next to the unknown owner car, and vilas ;instead of telling the truth. So far it is getting better now, we knew everything about their lie, but still there few young Ethiopians trust their propoganda....

What a Shame .These bandits are treating with the UAE state as if our ladies are simple marketing goods .It's concerned of Human Lives .If these poor ladies are obliged to be exiled is because of the countrie' s low income problem .Unable to feed they and their families .Not really as stated above two Stupid Agazi Ass Holes ,looking for conforts and leisuries .It is also the result of bad governance of the TPLF Tyranni and the looting of the peoples wealth by the Tigre Mafiosis and their Bandas .Whatever they say or write these evil bandits are accountable for the suffering and the death of our sisters in the Arab World .

Very good news. We live now in a globalized economy. India, Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and others all have workers working in the Gulf Region. Not only maids but professionals too like Doctors, Engineers and nurses. Dubai business now mainly is moved by Indian Millionairs that went there as workers and built their fortune. I do not see why we Ethiopians can't do the same.
I would like to inform the Government that one tactic that employers use to intimidate their foreign workers is that they demand their Passports and won't give it back to them. Since these are registered workers at the Embassy, the Embassy should be gracious enough to help them get another copy of a Passport. Also there should be a clause in the agreement that allows for Ethiopian workers to change jobs that they deem better giving their bosses reasonable time to find another worker.
It would be nice also to see Ethiopian Bank branches open all over The Gulf, good for business and good for Ethiopians.
Amen.
Good Luck and do not listen to the negative. Respect the laws, save your money

Seattle,
Two things,
One isn't it too early to say it is on paper or not, because time is a factor and we have not yet seen the policy enacted to say so.

Second, Do you know China and India actually have many domestic workers in other countries too with their economy being the way it is? So this has been there, even east Europeans go to west to do similar, or closer jobs. This is human behavior to search for job. Or else why don't you start creating job for your sisters, other than remotely commenting?

Thanks for being polite when you will answer my questions, either here or to yourself.

Gebru , John and EPRDF lovers

There is ruling class and there are majority who are being ruled.
For the few in the ruling class, life in Ethiopia is thriving, business is booming employment is abundant, every door they knock is open, for the majority, eating once a day is luxurious, even after graduation a cobble stone is waiting under safety net.

It was up to the government to create a favorable policy and condition for its citizens to create job or employment opportunity.

It is only economic problems that makes the young to flee in exodus from their own country. Just recently how many has died trying to cross to Yemen illegally. Whose body was that, all over the news in the sands of the beach of Yemen ?
The regime you are supporting has rotten from the stem, no other branch will be healthy. It's corrupted, it's a racist, ....nepotism, cronyism is highly developed. It doesn't respect it's own law.....
So you guys are trying to be idiot-smart siding with a regime who has created a slavery system in modern age.

Ethiopian women have the right to travel anywhere they please. The Ethiopian economy can not absorb all the graduates graduating every year, neither China. So individuals have to create their own job (open a business) or go abroad.

It would be very selfish of us that are outside living a good life preventing others from doing what we have done. When giving a permit they should have an age limit because I have heard instances in Wollo where Muslim fathers pushing their young daughters to go.

We have been crying for the last twenty plus one year about this illegal human trafficking.
For weyane elites and their watchdogs it’s highly profitable business. These Kerakenbos, weyene, never attempt let alone find the remedies for this terrible long standing problem . The only solution for this and any other problems is to irradiate parasitic-mercenary weyane once and for all from the land of Ethiopia.

When it comes to Arab countries and their relationship with Woyane on Ethiopia we should never let our guards down.

All those home grown enemies such as Shabia and TPLF/Woyane were groomed and nurtured in Arab counties. Now it is the continuation of their “Let’s Ruin Ethiopia” program that was created before 1991 Woyane era.

All Arab counties especially Gulf give their citizens including the beduans rights to abuse Ethiopians and poor foreigners who came to their country to work as labors, maids and servants. Fairness and human rights never have or will ever exist in Arab countries. Even to their own women. Qatar may be slightly better democratic to its own citizen but not to foreigners.

Guess what now we have Alamoudi the Saudi Billionaire who is ruining the farm environment and sending organically farmed vegetables and food to Qatar and building his empires at the destruction of Ethiopia.

There is no friend of Ethiopia in the whole Arab continent except maybe Yemen who is also a victim of Saudi invaders.

Qatar is acting as a Super Power like Saudi Arabia not because they are strong in military and technology but because they are oil rich and can buy African greedy so called leaders

There is no safety for these women in the Arab world. Why go for minimum pay?

It is sad that these women can not get work at home with the 11.4% growth and all and they have to be exported as laborers. What is next for Woyane banda mengest?

All current and former Ethiopian models should have been an outspoken advocates against maid trafficking. But none dares to stick out her neck, and this is typically why Ethopians remain in the dark. Ethiopian models, as we saw recently, stump for Obama and are active for other comparatively worthless causes while the cause of all causes Yenat Ager Tirree goes unheeded.

It is time also not to feel sorry for Ethiopians who flock to Arabia. It should be made clear to the average Arabia travler, the Abyssinian maid, that her plight is self-created. We need to force change the mentality. It is like a crack-addict American woman from a good family who makes the round to crack houses no matter what the intervention. Her folks simply give up on her. She has sold her soul for ever. The comparrison is unfair but the change has to come from within for Abyssinian cats a.k.a maids.

Before we go to India and China, let's start with our own backyard. How many Kenyans, Tanzanians, Ugandans travel to Arab Countries as maids?
Do any of these countries government sign a contract to ship 100,000 maids to Saudi Arabia?
Why Ethiopia alone? are we much worst that Kenyans or Tanzanians or there are underlining issue we don't want to discuss here?

We are not talking a few here a few there. Have you been to Bole airport lately? It looks like maid export Central!
Soon we might start to use the Cargo terminal.

I was in Dubai too and have not seen anything you saying. You have to be a Muslim trying to stir problems.
Ethiopian women are Ethiopian. They are not Pakistani, Afghanistani or Saudi Arabian where women are considered slaves and toys of their men with no rights whatsoever.
I do not know if you can read well legal immigration and illegal immigration are totally different. You are a Somali that wants his women imprisoned in your house. Ethiopian women are not. The Indian Government and Phillipin Government permits it's citizens to work abroad as maids. It is not shamefull to work. It is shameful not to work like you do.
You say Arabs are better? in what way? they always looked down at Ethiopians calling us 'Abid', now that things are changing they are respecting us more.
Those that you saw in Dubai went illegally, it is Dubai jurisdiction
they are capable to enforce their law. Let me include also that there are prostitutes fro Somalia, Kenya, Uganda and more also drug pushers. In a nutshell every country is not perfect. Clean your own bacjyard first. How about all the Somali prostitutes in Djibouty was that traffiking.

There are Ethiopian girls in Dubai and other Arab cities turning tricks. Anyone who says otherwise is turning a blind eye.

But, if the regime in Addis is as accused doing business sending this girls under the pretense of "maid" then that is a crime. If as stated, w/o Azeb is the CEO of shele export, she shall be hanged from the arat kilo palace she refused to get the fk out of. Just saying......!

You and your kinds are really confused.
Before when news came out of maids being mistreated you were complaining that the Government was not involved. Now that the Government is legalizing the process and make sure that the workers right is respected you complain too.
The Government can issue permits to the Recruiting Agencies that have a good record. But after they are gone, it is the Arab Country jurisdiction that rules.
Dubai refused to allow ladies from Uzbekistan because they found out that they became prostitutes. Dubai would have done the same with the Ethiopian women if they had proof of the same. Ethiopian women and men are really hard workers and will not steal from their jobs like others do. Also the agreement includes drivers too and that will be a good opportunity for them to start.
If you think working outside Ethiopia is wrong then let us all go back including you and sit in a coffee shop in Addis and see if money will rain from the sky.
We got to work and I too, do not be an obstacle to others.

Nostra Daimus,
(Or is it Nostradamus?)

I and my kind? What does that mean? Is that to refer to any political or ethnic group? I will assure you I belong to no political or ethnic group. I am mixed three ways that I know of.. you may call me the multi ethnic Ethiopian. So, I care, I really do.

But confused, we all know what it refers to. It refers to those who take what is being fed to them by the leba, lying Tplf at face value. Much like you do.

Do you work for Tplf/Eprdf?
If not..
I agree we got to work, in or out of the country. I see no reason at all to leave America, work or not, and go to where my freedom will be what others say it is nor would I keep silent when our sisters are being raped and murdered in Arab lands. I also have a beef with human traffickers which the dead PM's wife is being accused of. All I am saying is she needs to be investigated. Why does that offend you? Do you work for her?

I'll tell you if it was a free society and elections were held in Ethiopia, anyone including yours truly, will do a better job of leading than those Woyane thugs. Simply stated, I will express my views like it or not and I have no desire to led nor zor malet, like it or not.

What boils my blood is when people like you who have no clue other than what they are told by Tplf, try to pass it on. People like you do not look for facts, people like you do not ask why. People like you care less to look for facts so long as they are paid. Are you getting paid here to miss inform? If not let me tell you that as I have seen numerous pictures of Ethiopian girls scolded with hot water, hanged, beaten and killed and in many other inhumane situations.. in Arab lands. Do you dispute that? If so, the proof is out there dude. Look for it before you become a mouth piece to the most lying dictatorship on the face of the earth. That is what I am talking about. That was what I was saying when you took it upon yourself to just come in and fart all over.

Be cool, take care and get off the payroll of Tplf. Their end is near.

Nobody here is on the TPLF payroll.
Just use your logic.
1. There are a lot of maid Recruiting agencies in Ethiopia.
2. The new agreement between hiring nations like India or Philippines will enable to control and enforce rules which will protect the persons to be hired in Ethiopia and abroad.
3. Ethiopian women just because they are more beautiful and intelligent than the Somalis, Eritreans, Sudanese they really do not deserve to be considered as prostitutes.
4. All Ethiopian women have the right to do whatever Ethiopian men do as long as it is legal. This is not and Islamic nation where women are treated as slaves and second class citizens.
5. Economies now are globalized as such even Americans go to the Middle East to work. So why not Ethiopians?

Nostra Daimus,

Good to know you are not a paid advocate.

I agree that economies have become global, intermingled.. call it whatever. All I am saying is our people, women in particular, are not safe in the Arab world. I say that because it is true, because it is documented. No matter what agreement is drawn, our women are beaten, burned and killed by their Arab employers. Also, go ahead and tell me that members of the Eprdf govt are not involved in the business of exporting workers and I will tell you what's up.

All I am saying is the fact states that Ethiopian domestic workers(women) in these particular Arab countries, are not protected.. agreement or not.
