Qatar's foreign domestic workers subjected to slave-like conditions

Revelations of mistreatment of maids and cleaners add to picture of widespread labour abuse in World Cup host nation

Foreign maids, cleaners and other domestic workers are being subjected to slave-like labour conditions in Qatar, with many complaining they have been deprived of passports, wages, days off, holidays and freedom to move jobs, a Guardian investigation can reveal.
Hundreds of Filipino maids have fled to their embassy in recent months because conditions are so harsh. Many complain of physical and sexual abuse, harassment, long periods without pay and the confiscation of mobile phones.
The exploitation raises further concerns about labour practices in Qatar in advance of the World Cup, after Guardian reports about the treatment of construction workers. The maids are not directly connected to Qatar's preparations for the football tournament, but domestic workers will play a big role in staffing the hotels, stadiums and other infrastructure that will underpin the 2022 tournament.
Our investigation reveals:
• The Philippine Overseas Labour Office (POLO) sheltered more than 600 runaway maids in the first six months of 2013 alone.
• Some workers say they have not been paid for months.
• Many housemaids do not get days off.
• Some contracts and job descriptions are changed once the workers arrive in Qatar.
• Women who report a sexual assault can be charged with illicit relations.
The non-payment of wages, confiscation of documents and inability of workers to leave their employer constitute forced labour under UN rules. According to the International Labour Organisation, forced labour is "all work which is exacted from someone under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily".
Lack of consent can include induced indebtedness and deception about the type and terms of work, withholding or non-payment of wages and the retention of identity documents. Initial consent may be considered irrelevant when deception or fraud has been used to obtain it.
"Menace of penalty" can include physical violence, deprivation of food and shelter, non-payment of wages, the inability to repay a loan, exclusion from future employment and removal of rights and privileges.
Modern-day slavery is estimated to affect up to 21 million people across the globe.
When the Guardian visited in January, at least 35 runaway maids had sought sanctuary at the POLO in the capital, Doha, which provides support to 200,000 Filipinos in Qatar. The welfare officer said most complained of pay being withheld, insufficient food, overwork and maltreatment. Some said they had endured verbal and physical abuse by sponsors of different nationalities.
Eight Filipino workers interviewed by the Guardian said they had not been paid for six months, were sometimes deprived of food while cleaning for long hours and had had their passports confiscated.
"We are afraid," said 28-year-old Jane*. "We don't really know what to do. We are trying to survive. That's why we do part-time jobs secretly." If they are caught breaching their contract, the maids face months in a deportation centre. The repatriation process is often delayed when people do not have their passports, according to James Lynch, Amnesty International's researcher on Gulf migrants' rights.
Qatar vigorously denies it is a "slave state" and is understood to be reviewing the controversial system that governs migrant labour, and to have stepped up inspections of businesses that use migrant labour. The Qatari labour ministry said in a statement: "We have clear laws and contractual terms in place to protect all people who live and work in Qatar and anyone found to have broken those laws will be prosecuted accordingly." It said that non-payment of wages and confiscation of passports were illegal in Qatar, and added: "The vast majority of workers in Qatar – domestic or otherwise – work amicably, save money and send this home to improve the economic situation of their families and communities in their home countries."
But the Philippines-based OFW (Overseas Foreign Workers) Watch, which supports Filipino migrant workers, said physical abuse, delayed and refused salaries, the misrepresentation of employers and contracts and passport confiscations were common issues in Qatar. The Guardian has already highlighted this malpractice in its investigation into the mistreatment of migrant workers as Qatar gears up for the 2022 World Cup.
As with the construction workers, the abuse of maids is systemic and brought into sharp focus by a lack of legal protection and the kafala sponsorship system, under which workers cannot leave the country or change jobs without their employer's permission, Lynch said.
"The women we've spoken to who have suffered abuses in the workplace, ranging from excessive working hours to physical violence, their employers came from a variety of countries," he added.
Many maids say they do not get any rest days and that employers confiscate their mobile phones.
Several recruitment agencies contacted by phone told a Guardian reporter pretending to be a would-be client that they routinely withheld the passports of their migrant workers. One agency volunteered that it was up to the sponsor whether the maid had a day off. "If you want to give an off day, let them rest at your house," an Al Hadeel Manpower representative said. "Don't give them free days outside because there is more problems outside."
Domestic workers are not covered by Qatar's labour laws and cannot challenge their contracts in court.
François Crépeau, the UN special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, said he was told during his eight-day visit to Doha in November that if some sponsors disliked the maid, they could have her arrested for theft. "These are all hearsay stories, but it was quite frequent," he said.
Crépeau, who will present a report of his Qatar trip to the UN in June, said he saw about 100 maids at the Philippine labour office waiting to be moved to the deportation centre, which housed about 1,300 people when he visited. He also visited the Central Prison, where he found women imprisoned with their babies as they served one-year sentences for adultery because they were unmarried.
Sharan Burrow, the general secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation, said some imprisoned babies were conceived when their mothers were raped by their employers.
The penalty for rape in Qatar is life imprisonment and, under some circumstances, death. Sexual harassment is illegal, but women who report such cases risk being charged with having illicit relations.
"They've become enslaved in Qatar, forced into abusive relationships, often become pregnant as a result of forced sexual relationships or rape and then the perpetrator has total power and refuses to sign an exit visa, so they end up imprisoned," Burrow said.
Crescente Relacion, the Philippine ambassador to Qatar, who declined to be interviewed but issued a written response to Guardian questions, said the embassy had assisted the fewer than five expatriates who had filed such charges with police in 2013. "Some victims have decided to settle amicably or not to file charges as doing so would significantly delay the repatriation," he said.

Case study

One runaway maid, Vanessa, fled to the Philippine women's shelter with only the clothes she was wearing because she said her employers of four years had cancelled her flight back home and confiscated her belongings for shouting at their children.
Vanessa said she had not had a day off in four years, but she did not regard playing with the children as work. She alleges the Indian mother of the family that employed her struck her because she did not want Vanessa to feed her infant son. "She hit my face because, yes, I admit that it's my fault because I fed the baby," she said. "What I didn't accept is that they took everything."
Among the items were precious photographs of her 10-year-old daughter, whom she has seen once during her only holiday, when she visited her mother in the Philippines in 2011, her mobile phone and 42,500 pesos (£580), she said. "Maybe they're telling to the police that I steal, but only God knows."
Because of the kafala system, Vanessa could not simply turn her back on her job or seek alternative employment. She is tethered to the employer via the sponsor who supports her migrant status in Qatar. She was faced with an unpleasant choice: tolerate the abuse or run away.

How to Make a Word Search Game For Kids.

How to Make a Word Search

Making a word search for your kids on a rainy day, your students to help them learn vocabulary, or simply for a bored friend can be a fun activity. You can get as creative as you like--just follow these steps to learn how to create your own word search.

Method 1 of 3: Selecting Your Search Words

1. 
    
   1.Decide on the theme of your word search. 
    Picking a theme for the words you want to put in your word search will make the word search seem more professional. If you are making this word search for a child, picking a theme will make the puzzle more understandable. Some example themes include: country names, animals, states, flowers, types of food, etc.^[1]
   • If you do not want to a have a theme for your word search, you don’t have to. It is up to you what you decide to put into your word search.
   • If you are making the word search as a gift, you could personalize the word search for the person you are making it for by using themes like, ‘names of relatives’ or ‘favorite things.’
2. 
    
   2.Select the words you want to use.
   If you decided to go with a theme, pick words that match that theme. The number of words you choose depends on the size of your grid. Using shorter words will allow you to include more words in your puzzle. In general, word searches generally have 10-20 words, though if you are making a very large puzzle, you could have more than that.
   • Examples of words for the theme ‘animals’: dog, cat, monkey, elephant, fox, sloth, horse, jellyfish, donkey, lion, tiger, bear (oh my!), giraffe, panda, cow, chinchilla, meerkat, dolphin, pig, coyote, etc.
    
   
3. 
    
   3.Look up the spelling of words.
     Do this particularly if you are using more obscure words or the names of foreign countries. Misspelling words will lead to confusion (and someone potentially giving up on your puzzle.)

Method 2 of 3: Making the Grid

1. 
    
   1.Leave space at the top of your page.
     You will want to add a title to your word search once you have drawn your grid. If you have a theme, you can title your word search accordingly. If you don’t have a theme, simply write ‘Word Search’ across the top of your page.
   • You can also make your grid on the computer. To make a grid in versions of word prior to Word 2007: Select ‘View’ at the top of the page. Select ‘Toolbars’ and make sure the ‘Drawing’ toolbar is selected. Click on ‘Draw’ (it looks like an ‘A’ with a cube and a cylinder). Click ‘Draw’ and then click ‘Grid’. A grid option box will pop up--make sure you select ‘Snap to Grid’ and then select any other options you would like for your grid. Click ‘ok’ and make your grid.
   • To make a grid in Word 2007: Click ‘Page Layout’ at the top of the page and click the ‘Align’ list within the ‘Arrange’ grouping. Click ‘Grid settings’ and make sure ‘Snap to Grid’ is selected. Select any other options you want for your grid. Click ‘ok’ and draw your grid.
2. 
    
   2.Draw a grid by hand. 
   It is easiest to make word searches when using graph paper, although you do not have to use graph paper. The standard word search box is 10 squares by 10 squares. Draw a square that is 10 cm by 10 cm and then make a line at each centimeter across the box. Mark each centimeter going down the box as well.
   • You do not need to use a 10x10 grid. You can make your grid as big or as small as you, just remember that you need to be able to draw small squares within your grid. You can make your grid into the shape of a letter (perhaps the letter of the person’s name who you are making it for?) or into an interesting shape.
3. 
    
   3.Use a ruler to draw lines. 
   Use a pencil to draw the lines evenly and straightly. You need to create small, evenly-sized squares within your grid. The squares can be as big or as small as you like.
   • If you are giving the word search to a child, you might consider making the squares larger. Making larger squares will make the puzzle a bit easier because each individual square and letter will be easier to see. To make your puzzle harder, make smaller, closer together squares.

Method 3 of 3: Putting Your Word Search Together

1. 
    
   1 .Make a list of your words.
     Place the list next to your grid. You can label your words #1, #2 etc. if you want to. Write your words out clearly so that the person doing the word search knows exactly which word he or she is looking for.
2. 
    
   2.Write all of your words into your grid.
     Put one letter in each box. You can write them backwards, forwards, diagonally, and vertically. Try to evenly distribute the words throughout the grid. Get creative with your placements. Make sure to write all of the words that you have listed next to the grid are actually in the puzzle. It would be very confusing to be looking for a word in the word search that isn’t actually there.
   • Depending on who you are giving the puzzle to, you may wish to make your letters larger or smaller. If you want your puzzle to be a little less challenging, like if you are giving it to a child, you might consider writing your letters larger. If you want your puzzle to be more challenging, make your letters smaller.
3. 
    
   3.Create an answer key. 
   Once you have finished writing in all the words, make a photocopy of it and highlight all of the hidden words. This will serve as your answer key so whoever does your puzzle will be able to see if they got everything right (or can get help if they are stuck on one word) without the confusion of the extra, random letters.
4. 
    
   4.Fill in the rest of the blank squares.
     Once you have written all of your chosen words into the puzzle, fill the still empty squares with random letters. Doing this distracts the person from finding the words in the search.
   • Make sure that you do not accidentally make other words out of your extra letters, especially other words that fit into your theme. This will be very confusing for the person doing the puzzle.
5. Helpful?
    
   5.Make copies.
     Only do this if you are planning on giving your word search to more than one person.

How To Write Blogging Headlines And Make Money

How To Write Blogging Headlines And Make Money

February 25, 2014 Ivan Ho No comments

Headline Writing: First Key to Success
One skill rises above all the others if you want to make money blogging. It’s a skill that’s much like the game Connect Four: easy to understand, hard to master. Many earn thousands for using this skill over the course of an afternoon, and their patrons gladly pay those fees. What am I talking about? … Headline writing.
What’s the skill that makes the difference between a thriving blogging community and tumbleweeds.
When I wrote about how to write compelling articles last week, I feel that I didn’t emphasize the need for drop dead gorgeous headlines. When you want to make money blogging, this is absolutely crucial.
8 out of every 10 people read the headlines to your blog posts to make the decision on whether they want to read your work. Only 20% of people actually make a time investment and read your article beyond the first few paragraphs.
Of those, there’s an even smaller percentage of people who will make it to the end of the page where you’d traditionally put a call to action. Thus, headlines are crucial in grabbing the attention of a reader immediately.
Three Never Miss Headline Styles
The process of headline writing straddles the boundaries between art and science. Headline formulae exist, but the real proof about whether it works is determined by how many people click on the article that you’ve created. The simple measure is: the better the headline, the more views you get.
The more people who look at your blog posts, the more chances that you get to make money blogging. It’s that simple. Learning how to write headlines = MORE $$ in your pocket. There are no hard and fast rules about headline creation, but different audiences will respond to different varieties.
The Curiosity Based Headline
For instance, I love writing curiosity-driven celebrity headlines. The formula is simple: take two or three seemingly unrelated things and posit a link between them. Here are some examples from this blog:
How I made money from Angelina Jolie’s Breasts What do Google, Sesame Street, and Lucille Ball Have in Common? Justin Bieber’s Email Marketing Tips
The key to curiosity-based headlines is to make the titles of the articles so outlandish that your readers can’t help but click on them to see what you’ve come up with. Don’t you just wonder how you can make money blogging about Angelina’s breasts?
Other headlines might be:
Elliot Ness’ Guide to Dirty Money
A Secret Look at Marilyn Manson’s Prayer Book
Getting Filthy Stinking Rich with Saints
The List Style Headline
List headlines are still used because they are incredibly effective. Recently, there has been more emphasis on the longer-style list headline. When you go longer, you have more of a chance to really get your reader’s attention.
Here are some examples of list style articles that we’ve used here:
6 Ways to Create Content when Your Mind has a Brain Freeze 10 Essential Strategies for Blogging Success 5 Steps to Making Money with Your Idea Online 30 Savvy Tricks that Professionals Use
When you’re creating long list-style headlines, think about throwing the kitchen sink into the mix. What can you do in your headline which will not only make a promise to the reader but get them curious enough to click?
53 Proven Methods to Make Money Online. Is #35 even LEGAL?
19 Ways You Lose Money with Your Blog
38 Ways to Boost Your Bottom Line with Email Marketing
These may sound gimmicky, but they don’t have to be. Just say what you’re offering your reader with the headline and then deliver the promise with your content.
The last three article titles say that they will go out of their way to give you something more than just the average 5-10 item list.
1. With list headlines, people know what they’re getting in to 2. More items means more possibility of discovering something new 3. List-articles are easily skimmable, and readers know that
The How To Headline
I’m very fond of the how-to article headlines. The usual way of devising a how-to headline is to offer an exchange of the reader’s time for information. Your mission is to learn how to create the most compelling material possible.
How to articles say at the outset that they will demonstrate something to the readers. A few of the how-to articles on this blog are:
How to read, use, and take advantage of Google Trends

How to Generate a Huge Email List the NPR Way
How to Easily Repurpose your Content to a Video and Podcast
This style of headline writing fills the gap with the rest of the headline styles. There are blogs out there which use a simple, yet potent combination of all three of these headlines, never having to go to other headline styles. Your ultimate goal is to get people clicking on your content, staying on your page, and interacting with your vision.
Your readers, if they’re anything like mine, want diversity when you do headline writing. Just like you can’t eat the same thing every day for a month, your readers are going to get headline fatigue if you give them the same style of headline every time. In other words, you have to mix it up.
Your Turn
What are some of your favorite article headlines? What got your attention about them?

How good habits can help you achieve your goals.
