Ethiopian maid's window fall 'filmed by employer

An Ethiopian housekeeper who was filmed begging for help as she hung from the seventh floor of an apartment complex while her Kuwaiti employer stood-by and filmed her, has spoken out about her ordeal and debunked media claims that she had tried to kill herself. The maid is heard shouting for help, saying "hold me, hold me", before losing her grip and falling seven floors onto another roof. AliveForFootball 

But it gets better. The Kuwaiti woman filmed the entire incident and posted it on social media. The woman recording the video can be heard telling the maid "you are insane, come back in" and then moves away from the maid instead of helping. Paramedics can be seen rescuing the maid at the end of the video. "I am fine, thank God, I am fine", she said in a video as she lay in a hospital bed after the fall, suffering from a broken arm and bleeding from her ear and nose. The maid had attempted to escape via the window in the Sabah al-Salem neighbourhood after she her employer locked her in the house, a member of the prosecutor's office told Kuwait's al-Qabas News. Both The Guardian and Russia Today perpetuated what seems to be the most common, but false, narrative, that the maid was attempting suicide. A report via middleeastmonitor told of the Ethiopian maid having resigned from her job and was being tortured as a result, locked in a room and refused food for two days before she made a decision to take her own life. Kuwait alone is said to be home to 600,000 foreign domestic workers while the United Arab Emirates, according to Human Rights Watch is home to upwards of 146,000. Since most of these are foreigners - Asian / African - they also tend to seek help from their embassies. According to Migrant Rights, an advocacy group that aims to advance the rights of migrant workers in the Middle East, 90% of all households in Kuwait employ foreign domestic workers.
