hi guys...

i have a friend who is working as private nurse in one family somewhere in gharafa, she cannot go out from their house because her employer sudanesse does not allow her. she cannot even buy her personal things. she uses phone secretly,she's really sad, cause she wants to see the beauty of qatar.

she always asking her employer to give her chance to go out one day and meet her friends and relatives but her employer still refusing. she is fine physically but emotionally not.

can anybody here explain to me the possible worst Consequences if she just leave from her employer w/o having her passport, yeah it's illegal and punishable but i'm just asking. so that i can inform her. or else can you refer a government agency to ask help regarding this case..?

thanks a lot!

"Sudanese family has a better intention" (??????) -- what's that supposed to mean?

Beware all Ladies! don't go out in the streets of Doha. A lot of sperm are flying around in the air and you may get pregnant!

thanks so much guys for ur great advices. to joe, yeah she is a lady,her employer might correct that she may have a problem,but to be pregnant,that's impossible i've known her for 4 years cuase we're best fren in college and i know how conservative she is specially she is a muslim that is very prohibited for her to get bf or dating w/ man.her employer treat her well,her only problem is to get 1 day or even half day off. as young at 22 of age and 1st time to work abroad, she's afraid to complain cause she might not be entertained by the concern personnel like labor dept.

i will tell her all your prescribed actions.

thanks again!

This is really sad. She needs to report this to someone in authority. There are laws here to the number of working hours and she can complain to the labour dept and to her embassy. Hope she gets out soon before she becomes an emotional wreck.

I was just asking you to clarify your question about her being okay 'inside'.

Didn't realise that was not allowed.

Okay then, i'll give you the benefit of the doubt; care to explain your psychological assessment of her being okay inside, if her body is too?

You don't think there is such a thing as mental bullying of this woman, or does she have to be hurt outside to be unhappy? Please do explain.

She needs help... She might one day snap and do something drastic.

surely, the embassy can be quietly given her details and asked to take up her case.

She is being treated like a slave and is probably too scared to do anything. Help her and report her case to ths labour dept

Report the sudanese slaver to the authorities. Name and shame. Publish the company name, and the name of the agency who hired your friend. This could serve as a warning to prospective employees (/slaves). Publish it on local employment forums in your country.

The House owner does not allow her to go out , because she is a lady and if only he was a male i think they will allow. Sorry dear so many like you are waiting to get her and the owner may not be prepared to send back a Pregnent house maid , i am sorry it is the fact.

she cannot even buy her personal things. she uses phone secretly,

What they are doing is illegal...she needs to go to someone in authority. She should not feel lucky to be allowed one day out...it is her right as a human being

As per law only 48 hrs work and there will be a day off. Nobody will stop to go out ofter the working hours. She can tell this to her employer and if he not agree, refer to labor court.
