BELITTLES THE JOB :THE WORD MAID’ GETS BANNED

  • 01/04/2021

In Saudi Arabia the word “maid” has banned, as it belittles the job, under new ordinances aimed to support the rights of foreign workers in ads for new jobs and in the recruitment method.The words such as ” servant” and “maid” should not be used in job adverts and instead advertise for “workers”, said The Saudi Ministry of Commerce.

The new instructions also specify that workers will not have to carry any financial costs “under any circumstances” for revisions of work permits or similar paperwork exchanges. Such changes can only be made with the workers’ approval and employers cannot refer to such fees in job advertisements.Ads should not publish any personal photos, identity card copies, residency permit or any other personal data.The country is home to 10 million foreign workers, including 3.7 million residential workers, and has taken steps in recent years to raise employment stability and prevent exploitation.
