One of the foreign workers abandoned during Israel’s war in Lebanon.
As soon as the assassination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah was confirmed, we saw many in the party’s popular incubator expressing their utter shock at Iran through sounds, images and words on social media and anger because they believe its regime failed Abu Hadi and made him prey to Israel.
These people are convinced that they too are frustrated, often by a helpless international community that has since been unable to stop Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon and other areas, forcing them to flee and seek refuge in schools, institutes and other areas. place.
Opening Haa this time may disappoint these people again.
I refer to the humiliation suffered by the maid. I hope in principle that this word will not cause anger among my dear readers, because I do not think that calling them “housekeepers”, “helpers” or “sweepers” is nothing more than the use of “linguistic cosmetics” to lessen their presence in our Arab world The burden of the tragic situation, the fancy terminology does not apply to me personally.
Unfortunately, there are stories of dozens, if not hundreds, of maids who were left alone in their homes after their families fled Israeli aggression, without any regard for the contracts signed between the parties or the spirit of humanity. Obligations, even “life and salt.” After sharing with them the burden of raising children and caring for their families, they left them to their terrible fate of dying from indiscriminate bombings, dying of hunger and thirst, or dying in the open air. The ending is: the streets.
For these immigrant women, death may take other roundabout ways, but it’s just as horrific and unjust. What if opportunistic exploiters, especially human traffickers, realize that most women currently live without identity documents or passports, doubling their despair and helplessness?
Disappointment—like disaster—does not seem to occur alone. The shelters that were supposed to rescue the maids, at least until the “madams” returned from Dubai – as one of the maids complained to the camera – refused to accommodate them simply because they were foreigners.
It is a darkness, one layer upon another, because someone who was authorized to protect us, to support us, turned his back on us. There is always a weaker link whose socioeconomic circumstances push it into the abyss of betrayal, because failing these maids is rarely seen as an immoral crime, and displaced Arabs have the “right” to denigrate those who fail their political Someone who leads and then turns against those who let him, his family and the community down.
Frankly, what’s even worse is that this deprivation of maids’ right to security, safety and even survival occurs just months after the Indian film “The Life of a Goat” sparked an unprecedented global uproar. It made public all the scandalous files about the mistreatment of servants and workers in our Arab countries.
Is there a second part of “The Life of a Goat” that I can learn?
