Dubai Police arrested 948 runaway domestic workers of different nationalities since the beginning of Ramadan as part of a campaign to crack down on illegal recruitment.
Colonel Ali Salem, Director of the Infiltrators Department at Dubai Police, said the recruitment of domestic workers increases during the holy month of Ramadan. However, the crackdown on violations continues throughout the year.
"Runway domestic workers can pose a security risk to society and their employing families. They choose to escape from their sponsors to work at different households under fake names and without legal documents and get paid hourly to increase their income in a short period," added Salem.
He warned the public against hiring absconding domestic helpers, especially during Eid, and urged reporting them immediately to ensure public safety. "It can be difficult to track absconding helpers in case a crime is committed, which is why families can be put at risk," said Salem.
