As you probably heard, 35-year-old Jullebee Ranara, a Filipina who had to move to Kuwait to make ends meet and support her family as a domestic worker, was brutally killed in 2023.
She was tortured, raped, and murdered. As if this grueling ordeal was not enough, Jullebee's heartless perpetrator even burnt her body, threw his victim in the desert, and ran her over with a vehicle.
Based on a report from Vice World News, there are over 268,000 Filipinos currently working in Kuwait, most of which consist of domestic workers.
The Kafala system governs migrant workers in Kuwait, and various human rights group says that the Kafala system is a legal framework utilized in most Gulf states that authorizes employers to have full control over the legal status of migrant workers.
Unfortunately, Jullebee Ranara's gruesome murder is not the first incident that happened to a Filipino in Kuwait. This recent incident appears to have caused a ton of frustration in how the Kuwaitis view less of Filipinos. It is unacceptable and should not be tolerated by the international community.
