For God sake stop embarrassing yourselves. Why would anyone in their right mind go to Iraq or any other 3rd world country as housemaid to begin with.

The citizens of Iraq themselves are enduring hardship to make a living, so how do you imagine you would care.

Generally, most Arab and Persian countries are condusive for these types of work, as they lack empathy and therefore do not give a hoot about human rights. I won't be surprised if after two years, you couldn't even save £2000. It was your mistake in the 1st place, a little research would have saved you this wahala

This pathetic mindset of always wanting to travel is sad. Check even alpha hour, and many requests are about travel. It seems for some people, that is a right of way before being recognized as human. Smh

She accepted the assignment. No one took her there, we went there by her own accord. As for me, I would NEVER accept to work as a maid for a Muslim family, ever!

The Arabs in Ghana do mistreats their Ghanaian worker, so why would you even go to an Arab country to work as a maid ? Simple ignorance !
