As reported by the Al-Seyassah newspaper, the Kuwaiti employer recorded her maid fall on a metal awning and survive, and then shared the video on social media.
However, the maid was fortunate enough to survive the fall as she landed on a sunblind, which reduced the impact. She was then rushed to a hospital for the treatment of her injuries. An AFP report said, “The woman holding the camera is heard telling the hanging maid: ‘Oh crazy, come back.’

Upon hearing about the sad incident, The Kuwait Society for Human Rights asked the concerned authorities to look into the matter and refer it to court. In the meantime, however, the employer has been detained by the Police for not extending help to her maid.
The 12-second video shows the maid holding onto the window frame on the outside of a building with one of her hands while screaming for help before she loses her grip and falls on a sunblind far below.
The terrified maid is seen screaming ‘hold me, hold me’, just before her hand slips and she falls down to hit the awning, which appears to soften the impact.”
