Labour (housemaids) regulation in UAE

This is how it began in the UAE:

"Governments in the Gulf expose Sri Lankan domestic workers to abuse by refusing to guarantee a weekly rest day, limits to the workday freedom of movement and other rights that most workers take for granted," said Jennifer Turner, a women's rights researcher at Human Rights Watch.
Now this talk and many other talks from the HRW aroused wonder about how this category of people is treated in the Gulf Countries(including UAE!).
As far as I know, and as far as what I see as a resident in the UAE for 23 years (not as a person who has ever had a maid), maids in this country always used to have their rights preserved as humans and employees!
Refering to Alittihad newspaper; Nov 14, 2007:
On his part, Minister of State for the National assembly Affairs and chairman of the Higher National Election Committee, Dr. Anwar Qarqash, asserted that the Salary, food, medical care, working hours are taken into consideration in the country Mol (Ministry of Labour) to protect these labours.
So, these goodies show the concern about maids, and as I said protecting their rights.
The question which arises now is that; did the UAE really prohibit giving one legal rest day per week for maids? And if so, then why?!
The answer is YES. They did prohibit giving one rest day per week for maids.
The answer for the second part of the question is unpleasing at all. In short, stuff against law.
After a while, the government of UAE realised that this decision of forbidding one day rest per week for maids, they realised that this decision doesn’t seem to be right.
As a result, they applied new rules towards this issue and that is by developing what is called “Labour regulation”.

Mothers! Can’t you just do the house work without relying on maids?
Because this very simple and easy solution will definitely solve it all.
