In recent months, the government of Kuwait has made several reforms to laws affecting Filipino domestic workers who live and work in the Gulf state.

Under them, Kuwait-based nationals of the Philippines will now be governed by work contracts that protect their right to a day off and to keep their passport with them.

The reforms come weeks after the Philippines' president, Rodrigo Duterte, criticized the way nationals of his country were being treated in Kuwait and even asked them to travel back home.

Even though the changes, which should guarantee basic rights to hundreds of thousands of Filipino workers in Kuwait, are a step in the right direction, they haven't gone down too well with some Kuwaitis.

Those include social media celebrity and makeup artist, Sondos Al Qattan, who shockingly hit back at the new rules in a video that has since gone viral.
