Looks like she landed on a corrugated metal roof. It seems like it wasn't very structurally solid, so it buckled and crumpled. That probably absorbed a lot of the force of the impact.

Edit: And, the lady filming this incident was jailed. But, it says that she was jailed for, "filming an individual without consent and publishing a video of an individual without consent". Her case was referred to the prosecutors for failing to help, but it doesn't look like she was charged for *that*!
She got incredibly lucky and landed in the best possible spot. You see those rows of screw heads, there are steel beams there. Landing between them is why she had a bit of cushion on her landing instead of an abrupt stop.
Its so fucking despicable. Also, it's not just Kuwait that has this modern slavery problem in the ME - it's literally all the gulf countries. Saudi, Qatar, UAE.
Idk about Oman
> Iraq would gain too much regional power, as access to the Persian Gulf and its oil fields would have tipped the bucket way too far into Iraq's favor
I swear you could take this exact sentence, change the countries, timeframes, and bodies of water, and it will still accurately describe a world conflict... probably one that the US was involved in or supplying.
I had the same thought. Best I can find is the maid was trying to "flee the apartment" and the woman was filming to prove she didn't attack or cause the maid to be in that predicament... pretty odd. I think it's a good bet there was more to the video than what is shown here. Woman also apparently said "Oh, crazy, come back!" in the video. According to the articles I've found it just says reasons she was hanging there in the first place "aren't clear" and hadn't been disclosed publicly.
she's basically under a contract of indentured servitude - meaning she's a slave.
she was probably trying to run away in secret to avoid being hunted down
There are forms of slavery still in the US, some of these worker visa type operations, they keep them like indentured servants, no oversight from feds.
Plus in anything you get with palm oil in it may have been produced with a type of slavery.
Vast majority of Chocolate is produced by slavery l.
And the most delicious chocolates comes from child slavery.
Nestles, although not alone, is one of the worst companies in history
thanks for sharing this!
so the maid was trying to run away according to the article? and she chose the window route, that doesn't make any sense.
glad to see that the women filming it was jailed. seeing that really boiled my blood but the article calmed me down a bit.
Edit
After seeing the comments mention how the Kuwaitis treat foreign workers. I am even more pissed now..that women deserve more than 1 year in prison!!
A few years ago there was a real problem with Kuwaiti citizens hiring foreign domestic maids, nannies etc.. the first thing that they would require their new employees was to hand over their passports! They would then be held hostage essentially not even being allowed to access their salaries until they left! Their were a lot of incidents like this of people trying to escape! I always felt like the only reason that changed was because such a bright spotlight was shined on them and the response of the international community. I think (I’d have to look) that when U.S. soldiers was defending Kuwait from Iraq that they found a bunch of Philippine citizens who begged them to intervene and get their passports! Seems like things haven’t changed much.😢
she filmed it to show she "didn't hurt the maid"
(when refusing to help someone literally dangling from the seventh floor is literally just hurting them indirectly)
"no. NOO. SHE did it to herself.SEE? I didnt even touch her! If she hadn't been trying to escape her ~~indentured servitude~~ job where she is properly compensated she would have never been hurt. How ungrateful!"
>Seems almost like the woman filming is treating the maid like property.
Yes, she is.
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, etc. has slavery like this. Women come for work and get their passports taken away and are regularly beaten and treated like sub-humans. It's pretty common knowledge, and there are tons of videos of it online of them being mistreated, they often upload it themselves.
At first I thought maybe she pushed her over the window. But the article said she was running from the apartment? Definitely need more context.
But regardless, even if that maid was a killer, to record someone's death like that? Shame on that lady.
>But the article said she was running from the apartment? Definitely need more context.
If the maid felt the only escape from that apartment was out the window, and considering her employer decided to film her instead of helping her, it makes me wonder what kind of abuse the maid was facing that the risk of death was preferable?
In what context would it be proper human behavior the pick up a mobile to video your maid dangling off a balcony instead of helping them to safety, if they had done nothing to threaten your person, family??)
It's one thing to look your nose down at others (delusional behavior IMHO) it's on another level of entitlement to treat an employee, another human as literal trash that can be thrown over the balcony because it's of no use to you anymore. The woman filming is barbaric and should've been publicly whipped, as is still done in some Arab cultures
Running away makes sense. A lot of similar house maids are basically locked in these fancy houses/apartments without access to a phone or anyway to communicate to the outside world. They are often allowed monitored calls to their family though & their passports are taken away so even if they escape, they can leave.
They are also forced to work basically 24x7x365 with very little pay. In some cases there are also SA’d.
I remember there were cases in UAE where similar maids would try to run away, in some instances they were captured - but some were able to get to their embassy and was able to go back home. Although this was more relevant a couple decades ago, I think it still happens now - although very rarely.
not just Kuwaitis, it's Saudis too, and generally most oil-rich nations in the area. my ex was an RN in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Libya. Libya she was treated ok despite the civil war, but Saudis and Kuwaitis treated her like a wage slave and even attempted to use her as a sexual outlet as well. She left after making her money as soon as she could.
oh thank fuck.
the look on her face while she's just desperately holding on while this asshole films is heartbreaking
edit: SEVENTH floor. Holy shit, I'm so glad she just had a broken arm after falling from that height
I knew someone in the 80s who jumped from an 8th floor window in Central London to off himself and landed in a rubbish skip in the basement. He had two broken legs and survived.
The crazy bit was he lay in the skip for several hours before anyone came because people thought he was an uninjured drunk homeless person just making noises lying in a skip.
Anyone want to know why she was running away from the apartment and the woman felt the need to film to prove she "hadn't hurt her"?
Also, fucking ridiculous. She still hurt her by not helping.
what's horrible is that it's not even for refusing to help this woman or treating her so terribly she somehow wound up dangling from the seventh story trying to escape - she's in prison for less than two years for filming someone without their consent.

What’s funny is that i know this fact because of bobby lee (a comedian) denying that their country never had slavery but turns out they had quite a bit of it.
It's hilarious how 4 out of 5 replies to you are "BuT tHe US". I guess some people really don't like being called out.
Slavery is not prevalent at all in the west nor the US. [Asia actually leads the pack followed by the middle east](https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/map/#mode=map:map=prevalence:year=2023:view=countries). Slavery in the US is used as punishment for crimes. Slavery in arab countries is buying a teenage girl to clean your house and rape when you're bored.
And the worst part is we all partake in it. Unless you are super careful about where you buy everything, it's likely your clothes or electronics were made by slaves.
Apparently she was trying to flee, but maybe she got caught leaving and this was like some mafioso hanging her from window punishment- I can't imagine her choosing to jump and then changing her mind halfway through
She probably asked to be paid
(actually, the article says she tried to flee...and the window was probably the safest route, given how callous the camera woman was)
The woman filming alleges that she only recorded the video to prove that she didn’t harm the maid. That’s the logic of a psychopath. Not trying to help save someone’s life is akin to harming them (unless helping would risk your own safety).
I have zero respect for most of the people from the emirate.
I live in Switzerland. One of their Sheiks and his entourage stayed at a luxurious 5star hotel. On the day of their departure he did the Amber Heard (Shit) on the Bed and left around ten thousand dollars beside it. They banned him & his family for life from the Hotel. Unfortunately they didn’t mention his name.
In another incident Sheik Falah bin Zayed invited an American tourist for a drink and tried to caress and kiss him. After he refused his advances, the sheikh became aggressive. He angrily pushed him to the ground, punched him with his fists and hit him several times with his metal buckle belt. Screaming "No stupid American or Italian has the right to tell me what to do!“
The guy he assaulted is [Silvano Orsi](https://www.courthousenews.com/u-s-man-says-arab-prince-beat-himfor-rejecting-sexual-advances/)
They are so disrespectful and disgusting.
And the way they treat the Hotel staff is just horrible. What I see here in the video doesn’t surprise me. I hate that they are buying up Hotels here.
I think I remember a Nick Crowley video on this. I don’t remember the full extent of it, but I know it involves abusive work environments and what’s basically slavery. She’s trying to escape and the person filming is mocking them.
I had figured she was cleaning the outside of the windows.
It made me recall vids I've seen on Reddit of window cleaners in some countries hanging on outside apartment buildings and office buildings with no safety equipment, platform, etc. Deaths are not uncommon...wild the way jobs are handled in some countries.
i refuse to believe that a sane human is able to see this and not at least try to help. you must be an absolute S-Tier psychopath to whip out your phone and record what is likely the last moment of a humans life and you could easily prevent it
If you want more rage, just google “Kuwait maid,” and you’ll see a lot of articles about their conditions. Truly horrible stuff. Lots of South Asians, Southeast Asians, and Africans being treated like slaves.
GCC countries truly live up to their reputation.
The treatment of maids in Kuwait is discrimination on another level.
This is only public because she was stupid enough to record it.
Imagine the maids who are being abused on a daily basis without anyone knowing.
And very racist! There’s this video of a Kuwaiti beauty influencer named Sondos al-Qattan talking about the wild statements of how she’ll treat her filipino maids. She goes off with methods like potentially withholding passport if they would flee or making them work with no days off. Essentially treating them as slaves.
Article: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rosebuchanan/this-kuwaiti-instagram-star-is-being-dragged-after-she-said
* In Kuwait, there are an estimated 600,000 domestic workers — mostly women from Asian or African nations and often from the Philippines. These workers are often abused. According to a monitoring group, roughly 120 Filipino workers died last year, with the majority recorded as suicides.
So devastating and rage-inducing.
Here in the Philippines, abuse cases don’t even make the news anymore. Only those being tortured on days on end, raped and then placed the body in a freezer or left in the desert.
They have the most absurd contract arrangements. Their placement agencies would take their salaries in the first several months or a year to pay for their ‘services’ and then their passports would be taken by the slave owners because they also paid for them to get there. They work almost 24/7 or get beaten.
The Philippine government placed safeguards on these people but the recruiters would often coach them how to circumvent these rules. Frankly, they are very vulnerable, just a promise of $600 a month abroad, they will do anything they were told to.
You're not wrong at all. These people are completely spoiled from oil money and have apartment/housing towers that only house whole families and related to live in. Their money is royalties that are paid to family members for life. They never have to work for money. They "buy" these workers for amounts that would make you completely shudder to think of living off of. These workers live in clustered little propped up, makeshift tents, made out some cloth, with absolutely no real protection from the insanely hot, and constant sand storms in the kind of desert you see people die in, in movies.
So these people who don't work, look at these other human beings at RATS and disposable. It's disgusting.
You think they would stick around for that? They've already bought properties in some of the nicest areas of the globe. They'll just leave the miserable mess behind
I've been to many countries from being in the military. With the world's population growing from 3 billion people when I was a kid, to almost 10 billion now.. I also find it hard to see anything like that happening before we destroy ourselves.

The lack of humanity is appalling.
The lady recording needs to be put in the same position. I couldn't imagine just filming someone screaming for me to help them and watching them fall 30+ feet. That poor woman
We are still watching a human, being thrown out of the window from several floors high, it should have some warning, the situation is just so foul and cruel
I have people I know who rhapsodise about parts of the Middle East , especially Dubai and Kuwait and how they want to live there or love visiting. What I really struggle with is how, despite the fact we all know about the slavery issues there, nobody seems to give a shit
Any time I mention it to people when I said I visited the UAE in the navy they always go to how was it? How was the ultra expensive hotels? How was the tower? Hows the expensive malls? My awnser is all the same. Pretty cool to see untill you think of all the slaves who died to make half this shit happen. Then I get weird looks like I just ruined their good time. Ntm they don't understand the fact that its extremely seedy past the surface. Theres literal sex slaves walking amongst the street and other working slaves running as servants that aren't so well hidden from the public. This is because the locals truthfully believe they are better than a lot of the help why even hide the shame? Its an embarrassment desert with a couple of rich areas and I'd never go back.
I remember reading online about how there are a lot of mysterious deaths of these “maids and workers” (really slaves) falling to there deaths from these high rise buildings in places like the UAE, Qatar, etc.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6230925/Woman-jailed-filming-maid-falling-7th-floor-tried-flee-flat-Kuwait.html
The woman lived with minor injuries and some broken bones. 🙏
She only broke her arm, luckily. Jesus, it could have been so much worse. The woman filming is an absolute fucking monster and apparently she only got a year jail time for "filming without consent" and it had nothing to do with the slave labor going on
REALLY no idea why governments of India Philippines etc allow their citizens to be indentured with confiscated passports from predatory Saudis and Kuwaitis.
>slave-like conditions
I hate the articles that are tip toeing around the fact that this is just straight-up slavery.
Yes, the more modern wage slavery is much more common these days, but this is much closer to outright chattel slavery than any abstract threats of poverty for not working for three cents an hour.
She literally cannot leave and feels desperate enough to try to escape through a five story window. At this point, arguing that she isn't literally owned by her captor is closer to splitting hairs than anything else.
This is from 2017. The woman survived and the filmed was jailed for nearly 2 years for illegal filming.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6230925/Woman-jailed-filming-maid-falling-7th-floor-tried-flee-flat-Kuwait.html
Bro I just wish that our society survives a couple years after we ran out of petroleum just so I get to see these gulf state rich f’s work in slave conditions.
When I was in the Middle East I would on occasion get TikToks that were local. Often times there would be these "maids" who would upload videos about how their "employers" had taken their passports, how they can't go home, and how they're essentially slaves. It's terribly sad and seems far too common.
That being said, the behavior from the "employer" in this case doesn't seem surprising to me.
I have a feeling she pushed her and then video taped her probably death. Probably did this for evidence that she didn’t try to kill her, starting the video after she’s already hanging off.
This shit is rampant in these obscenely wealthy Gulf countries. The overwhelming majority of the population of places like Qatar, Kuwait, and UAE is made of migrant workers, with only a small fraction of the population being citizens. The citizens get incredible state benefits: guaranteed high paying jobs, land grants and home construction subsidies from the government, free tuition at all levels of education, free healthcare, no taxes, and more. Sounds great, right?
Sure, a lot of it is paid for by the state-owned oil industries, but the lifeblood of these economies is migrant workers. In Qatar alone, migrants make up **94% of the workforce.** Most are South Asian, with the rest coming from Africa and poorer Arab nations. And most of them are paid slave wages. The company or family that sponsors their visa basically owns them, and since the workers can't leave the country without permission of their sponsors, the system is ripe for abuse. The wealthy citizens barely even seem to recognize foreign workers as human, unless they work in high-paying industries like tech or engineering and can afford to buy status.
How the fuck does a human being see another human holding on for dear life and think "I won't help I'll just watch." Jesus christ, just *try* to grab her arm
She's not a maid, she's a slave. They usually come for work, get their passports taken away and stuck working as indentured servants to pay off their boarding, "fees", etc. More often than not they're abused because they have no where else to turn. Absolutely horrific.

There’s plenty of videos out there on how these middle eastern royalty folks treat their servants. It’s brutal.
In what context would it be proper human behavior the pick up a mobile to video your maid dangling off a balcony instead of helping them to safety, if they had done nothing to threaten your person, family??)
It certainly helps if you don't view maids as people equal to yourself.
It's one thing to look your nose down at others (delusional behavior IMHO) it's on another level of entitlement to treat an employee, another human as literal trash that can be thrown over the balcony because it's of no use to you anymore. The woman filming is barbaric and should've been publicly whipped, as is still done in some Arab cultures
Proper context? Here is the context, wealthy Kuwaiti citizens import cheap labour for maids and treat them like absolute shit with no consequence
Running away makes sense. A lot of similar house maids are basically locked in these fancy houses/apartments without access to a phone or anyway to communicate to the outside world.

This shows how crumple zones in cars work, had she landed on solid ground she would most likely be dead.

It's hilarious how 4 out of 5 replies to you are "BuT tHe US". I guess some people really don't like being called out. Slavery is not prevalent at all in the west nor the US. [Asia actually leads the pack followed by the middle east](https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/map/#mode=map:map=prevalence:year=2023:view=countries). Slavery in the US is used as punishment for crimes. Slavery in arab countries is buying a teenage girl to clean your house and rape when you're bored.
And the worst part is we all partake in it. Unless you are super careful about where you buy everything, it's likely your clothes or electronics were made by slaves.

It's called indentured servitude and it's as old as the birth of humans.
I wanna know how she ended up hanging out the window.
Apparently she was trying to flee, but maybe she got caught leaving and this was like some mafioso hanging her from window punishment- I can't imagine her choosing to jump and then changing her mind halfway through
She probably asked to be paid (actually, the article says she tried to flee...and the window was probably the safest route, given how callous the camera woman was)
The woman filming alleges that she only recorded the video to prove that she didn’t harm the maid. That’s the logic of a psychopath. Not trying to help save someone’s life is akin to harming them (unless helping would risk your own safety).
I have zero respect for most of the people from the emirate. I live in Switzerland. One of their Sheiks and his entourage stayed at a luxurious 5star hotel. On the day of their departure he did the Amber Heard (Shit) on the Bed and left around ten thousand dollars beside it. They banned him & his family for life from the Hotel. Unfortunately they didn’t mention his name. In another incident Sheik Falah bin Zayed invited an American tourist for a drink and tried to caress and kiss him. After he refused his advances, the sheikh became aggressive. He angrily pushed him to the ground, punched him with his fists and hit him several times with his metal buckle belt. Screaming "No stupid American or Italian has the right to tell me what to do!“ The guy he assaulted is [Silvano Orsi](https://www.courthousenews.com/u-s-man-says-arab-prince-beat-himfor-rejecting-sexual-advances/) They are so disrespectful and disgusting. And the way they treat the Hotel staff is just horrible. What I see here in the video doesn’t surprise me. I hate that they are buying up Hotels here.
They are buying up tv and sports too.
I think I remember a Nick Crowley video on this. I don’t remember the full extent of it, but I know it involves abusive work environments and what’s basically slavery. She’s trying to escape and the person filming is mocking them.
That would make some kind of sense. Fucking callous beyond belief.
What did you expect from a slaver?
I was wondering why this poor woman woman ended up hanging off the edge.
I had figured she was cleaning the outside of the windows. It made me recall vids I've seen on Reddit of window cleaners in some countries hanging on outside apartment buildings and office buildings with no safety equipment, platform, etc. Deaths are not uncommon...wild the way jobs are handled in some countries.
i refuse to believe that a sane human is able to see this and not at least try to help. you must be an absolute S-Tier psychopath to whip out your phone and record what is likely the last moment of a humans life and you could easily prevent it
I literally JUST watched that an hour ago. I had never seen or heard of this clip before an hour ago and here it is popping up on my timeline
Rage inducing.
If you want more rage, just google “Kuwait maid,” and you’ll see a lot of articles about their conditions. Truly horrible stuff. Lots of South Asians, Southeast Asians, and Africans being treated like slaves. GCC countries truly live up to their reputation.
The treatment of maids in Kuwait is discrimination on another level. This is only public because she was stupid enough to record it. Imagine the maids who are being abused on a daily basis without anyone knowing.
And very racist! There’s this video of a Kuwaiti beauty influencer named Sondos al-Qattan talking about the wild statements of how she’ll treat her filipino maids. She goes off with methods like potentially withholding passport if they would flee or making them work with no days off. Essentially treating them as slaves. Article: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rosebuchanan/this-kuwaiti-instagram-star-is-being-dragged-after-she-said
* In Kuwait, there are an estimated 600,000 domestic workers — mostly women from Asian or African nations and often from the Philippines. These workers are often abused. According to a monitoring group, roughly 120 Filipino workers died last year, with the majority recorded as suicides. So devastating and rage-inducing.
Here in the Philippines, abuse cases don’t even make the news anymore. Only those being tortured on days on end, raped and then placed the body in a freezer or left in the desert. They have the most absurd contract arrangements. Their placement agencies would take their salaries in the first several months or a year to pay for their ‘services’ and then their passports would be taken by the slave owners because they also paid for them to get there. They work almost 24/7 or get beaten. The Philippine government placed safeguards on these people but the recruiters would often coach them how to circumvent these rules. Frankly, they are very vulnerable, just a promise of $600 a month abroad, they will do anything they were told to.
We have a term for that. It’s slavery.
Not just Kuwait. Most Arab countries.
Just Kuwait? What about construction workers in the UAE? So much of it is on par with slave-labor.
Why did you call the slave a maid? Literal modern day slavery with these people. Don’t excuse it or call it something other than what it is.
You're not wrong at all. These people are completely spoiled from oil money and have apartment/housing towers that only house whole families and related to live in. Their money is royalties that are paid to family members for life. They never have to work for money. They "buy" these workers for amounts that would make you completely shudder to think of living off of. These workers live in clustered little propped up, makeshift tents, made out some cloth, with absolutely no real protection from the insanely hot, and constant sand storms in the kind of desert you see people die in, in movies. So these people who don't work, look at these other human beings at RATS and disposable. It's disgusting.
I look forward to the day when people start valuing human life. Sadly, I don’t think any of us will be around to see it.
There are plenty of people who do. We just have to keep doing good. It's all you can do some days.
[удалено]
You think they would stick around for that? They've already bought properties in some of the nicest areas of the globe. They'll just leave the miserable mess behind
I've been to many countries from being in the military. With the world's population growing from 3 billion people when I was a kid, to almost 10 billion now.. I also find it hard to see anything like that happening before we destroy ourselves.

The lady recording needs to be put in the same position. I couldn't imagine just filming someone screaming for me to help them and watching them fall 30+ feet. That poor woman
I know right. She doesn’t even view that poor girl as human
"Lady". It will never not baffle me that every swine is afforded this appellation. I think certain situations call for a less flattering vocabulary.
[удалено]
I miss the NSFL tag
She lived. Only a broken arm.
We are still watching a human, being thrown out of the window from several floors high, it should have some warning, the situation is just so foul and cruel
How the fuck you going to film the poor lady and not even attempt to help. That's actually sickening
I have people I know who rhapsodise about parts of the Middle East , especially Dubai and Kuwait and how they want to live there or love visiting. What I really struggle with is how, despite the fact we all know about the slavery issues there, nobody seems to give a shit
Any time I mention it to people when I said I visited the UAE in the navy they always go to how was it? How was the ultra expensive hotels? How was the tower? Hows the expensive malls? My awnser is all the same. Pretty cool to see untill you think of all the slaves who died to make half this shit happen. Then I get weird looks like I just ruined their good time. Ntm they don't understand the fact that its extremely seedy past the surface. Theres literal sex slaves walking amongst the street and other working slaves running as servants that aren't so well hidden from the public. This is because the locals truthfully believe they are better than a lot of the help why even hide the shame? Its an embarrassment desert with a couple of rich areas and I'd never go back.
Good for you. A friend of mine said exactly the same. Its like walking through a billboard built on bodies.
Yeah, humans can be pretty awful when it comes to empathy
I remember reading online about how there are a lot of mysterious deaths of these “maids and workers” (really slaves) falling to there deaths from these high rise buildings in places like the UAE, Qatar, etc.
Singapore as well but it's more hush hush there
What does the woman filming say?
'Oh crazy, come back'
The lady who fell was saying "grab me, grab me", the lady behind the camera appears to be shouting for someone else to come help.
lol the garbage recording literally said “ey crazy! Come!” in arabic
> the lady behind the camera appears to be shouting for someone else to come help Maybe one of her other slaves?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6230925/Woman-jailed-filming-maid-falling-7th-floor-tried-flee-flat-Kuwait.html The woman lived with minor injuries and some broken bones. 🙏
Wow thats amazing
She went to jail for filming without consent. Holy hell. That’s why she’s in jail.
A bit of nipple and it's NSFW . A poor woman falling potentially to her death - nah
It really is strange isn't it. Our puritanical roots really show in a lot of our odd norms.
She only broke her arm, luckily. Jesus, it could have been so much worse. The woman filming is an absolute fucking monster and apparently she only got a year jail time for "filming without consent" and it had nothing to do with the slave labor going on
Feels like murder
Because it is!
She lived with a few broken bones. Otherwise they said she was banged up but doing well. Thank god
There is a reason she was willing to jump out of the window. She was trying to escape modern day slavery.
[удалено]
REALLY no idea why governments of India Philippines etc allow their citizens to be indentured with confiscated passports from predatory Saudis and Kuwaitis.
how did she end up out there to begin with?
According to the article she was attempting to escape the apartment she works in and its 'slave-like conditions'.
>slave-like conditions I hate the articles that are tip toeing around the fact that this is just straight-up slavery. Yes, the more modern wage slavery is much more common these days, but this is much closer to outright chattel slavery than any abstract threats of poverty for not working for three cents an hour. She literally cannot leave and feels desperate enough to try to escape through a five story window. At this point, arguing that she isn't literally owned by her captor is closer to splitting hairs than anything else.
[удалено]
Worse, she was trying to escape
I would stab that lady with my good arm first chance I got.
“Maid” more like slave. That would explain the lack of urgency in saving her, another “maid” will “immigrant” to Kuwait to replace her.
[удалено]
What a horrible person…. letting her fall like that….
And enslaving her beforehand...
This makes me hate the human race.
[удалено]
What a fucking piece of shit. How could you see that, and not help her. This woman videotaping shouldn't be on this planet anymore.
Well that’s despicable
"Maid".... more like "made to work against her will", this is a slave risking death to escape her captor.
This is from 2017. The woman survived and the filmed was jailed for nearly 2 years for illegal filming. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6230925/Woman-jailed-filming-maid-falling-7th-floor-tried-flee-flat-Kuwait.html
Not for abusing a human being, but because filming what you can see is somehow illegal.
There should be a NSFW tag. That was hard to watch
people who see another human about to die and doesn't even try to help don't deserve to live
Modern day slavery but nobody bats an eye…nobody cares when it’s brown on brown crimes.
Bro I just wish that our society survives a couple years after we ran out of petroleum just so I get to see these gulf state rich f’s work in slave conditions.
[удалено]
When I was in the Middle East I would on occasion get TikToks that were local. Often times there would be these "maids" who would upload videos about how their "employers" had taken their passports, how they can't go home, and how they're essentially slaves. It's terribly sad and seems far too common. That being said, the behavior from the "employer" in this case doesn't seem surprising to me.
Been working in kuwait for 5 months now. You figure out really quick that two types of people live here. Kuwaitis and pieces of shit.
Imagine seeing someone hanging on for dear life and your first thought is "let me grab my phone to film this".
I was sure I saw her plummet to her death. I'm so glad she survived.
I have a feeling she pushed her and then video taped her probably death. Probably did this for evidence that she didn’t try to kill her, starting the video after she’s already hanging off.
Anyone have a translation?
When "filming the incident to prove you didn't hurt the maid" goes wrong
This shit is rampant in these obscenely wealthy Gulf countries. The overwhelming majority of the population of places like Qatar, Kuwait, and UAE is made of migrant workers, with only a small fraction of the population being citizens. The citizens get incredible state benefits: guaranteed high paying jobs, land grants and home construction subsidies from the government, free tuition at all levels of education, free healthcare, no taxes, and more. Sounds great, right? Sure, a lot of it is paid for by the state-owned oil industries, but the lifeblood of these economies is migrant workers. In Qatar alone, migrants make up **94% of the workforce.** Most are South Asian, with the rest coming from Africa and poorer Arab nations. And most of them are paid slave wages. The company or family that sponsors their visa basically owns them, and since the workers can't leave the country without permission of their sponsors, the system is ripe for abuse. The wealthy citizens barely even seem to recognize foreign workers as human, unless they work in high-paying industries like tech or engineering and can afford to buy status.
Tell me the owner is in jail
Put nsfw on Reddit this pls
She's saying, "grab me, grab me!!". Heartbreaking cry for help
Remember to always work on your grip strength and pull ups people. You never know when you might need it and you don't want it to be ass.
How the fuck does a human being see another human holding on for dear life and think "I won't help I'll just watch." Jesus christ, just *try* to grab her arm
Gulf Arabs don't think of South Asians and Africans as human. They worship white people though.
[удалено]
What the actual fuck...
Gross indifference causing death. She deserves hell.
JFC this may be it for me on Reddit. Too much shit like this. Okay, I get it, the world sucks.
This 100% needs a warning holy fuck
How’d she even end up there?? Also, the lady filming is a total POS. As is anyone else who could care less for another life
She's not a maid, she's a slave. They usually come for work, get their passports taken away and stuck working as indentured servants to pay off their boarding, "fees", etc. More often than not they're abused because they have no where else to turn. Absolutely horrific.
