Letter Published in The National UAE on 12 March 18Criminal justice system reflects Zayed’s legacy

I refer to your article Dedicated prosecution unit for domestic workers is a major milestone (March 9), your editorial was a meaningful and thought-provoking one. Sheikh Zayed’s vision for all human beings, including domestic workers, to be treated with kindness and respect was laudable. You are right to point out that most workers are treated well and with care by their employers, but the recent incident in Kuwait, where a Filipina maid was found dead, was tragic. The decision by the government of the UAE to establish a specific prosecution unit to safeguard the interests of domestic workers in the country is remarkable, and worthy of praise.
