In Morocco, each year thousands of young girls from poor families are sent to work in houses in
the city. They are often ill-treated and exploited. No official numbers exist, but
one non-governmental organisation called Dari has counted 23,000
child maids in Casablanca alone.
Halima is one of them. When she was 8 years old, her family sent
her to Casablanca to work as a maid. Her father had some financial
trouble, so he got in touch with an intermediary whose job was to find
maids for rich
families. The little girl agreed because she thought that she could be of Child maid
some help to her parents. But being a maid was not what she really
dreamed of. She worked all day long, slept in the kitchen, and was
often beaten up by her host family. But she managed to escape from
the house where she was working.
Later, someone found her in the street all in tears and helpless, and took her to Dari. Thanks to
Dari, Halima now lives at a shelter for former child maids where she is learning cooking and
hairdressing. “For the first time since I was 8, I have finally found a place to rest,” Halima said.
Dari’s director says: “the majority of child maids come from the countryside where most families
have little money and a lot of kids. If they send a girl away to work as a domestic, that means an
important source of income and one less mouth to feed. The parents think that they are doing
something nice for their daughters, saving them from the harsh conditions in the countryside, and
hoping for a better future for them. But child maids often end up suffering twice: as kids and as
adults. When they grow up, they are often exploited by crime gangs”.
Dari’s director further explains that their association works to educate poor parents about the
reality of child maids and their exploitation. It also runs programmes to sensitise the wealthy
families to the rights of their maids: fair treatment, good pay, and basic education.
This issue of child maids is now being addressed by many civil associations. The abuses are
being exposed on TV, and more voices are heard against employing child maids, believing that
all children should have the right to enjoy their childhood and get a proper education.

Hi,
my name is Ibrahim, I'm known as a busy teenager, most of my time a do my homework or revising what
I learned in class. But sometimes when I finish all of my work I have some free time left.
I use my free time to rest from work for example: playing video games, talk with my friends on the phone,
hang out or sleeping.
I love sleeping whenever I have some free time; I immediately have a nap, because it gives you all the
energy to continue your day with efficiency. In the other side, I love playing video games, Its the best tool
to make you pass the time faster than anything in the world, and its so fun. You can play with your friends
or strangers around the world. I play with some British friends that I have never seen their faces before,
so video games connect people from all over the world and at the same time a great tool to spend your
free time on it.
