Dubai authorities have taken significant action by shutting down 77 social media accounts that were promoting unlicensed domestic workers. This decisive move is aimed at protecting employers and families from unauthorized and potentially risky recruitment practices.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has urged the public to engage only with licensed and approved domestic worker recruitment agencies. For transparency and convenience, the official list of authorized agencies is available on the MoHRE website.
Reason for the Crackdown
This action forms part of Dubai’s broader efforts to regulate domestic work and ensure the safety and rights of all parties involved. The use of unlicensed sources not only puts domestic workers at risk but also exposes employers to possible legal consequences.
Context and Broader Implications
Earlier this year, Dubai tightened its traffic laws as part of its commitment to safety and legal compliance across various sectors. The crackdown on illegal recruitment via social media now reinforces Dubai’s stance on law enforcement and community welfare protection.
Guidance for Employers and Families
Employers and families are strongly encouraged to:
- Verify the credentials of recruitment agencies before hiring domestic workers.
- Use only licensed and approved channels listed officially by MoHRE.
This crackdown underscores the authorities’ dedication to maintaining a safe and legal work environment within Dubai.
