It has been decided
by the Cabinet to
set up a taskforce
to draft a law to
regulate the
relationship between
domestic helpers and
their sponsors. The
proposed law will
ensure rights and
duties of both
parties are
guaranteed. The
Cabinet has assigned
Liutenant General
Shaikh Saif Bin
Zayed Al Nahyan,
Minister of
Interior, to set up
a team made up of
representatives from
ministries of
interior, labour,
and justice to enact
the legislation.
According to its
mandate, the team
will present
proposals on
provisions that will
be embodied in the
domestic helper's
law. In setting
regulations the team
will be guided by
local and
international
legislations and
systems. The U.A.E.
Human Rights
Organization had
raised some
recommendations on
number of issues
related to the
contract regulating
the relationship
between domestic
helpers and their
employers. |
