Female workers

I beg to differ with Bangladesh Ansar`s decision to send 131 women to Saudi Arabia for household works. My name is Abdullah Al Fahad and

I am currently a student in University of Texas (Student ID 4194976. I lived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for seven years (1993-2000).

During my stay in Riyadh, I read in many articles that household female workers didn't get paid; rather, they got beaten on almost daily basis by Saudi families.

Most of the Saudi citizens have no human rights sense and they consider people from South Asia only good for the dirtiest work possible. We all have heard many such complains already from our men working in Saudi Arabia.

Thus, I would request the Ansar authorities and other related recruitment offices to renegotiate and investigate on this issue. We must not send our people to Saudi Arabia to receive such humiliating treatment.
