Run away
Once they leave their sponsor's house they are known as run away but no one cares or wants to know why did they took this kind of step and where they are.
They didn't come here to be known as a run away or illegal.
Many of these hard working women who had come here to support their families and had never thought they will find themselves in this situation one day, I don't know under what consequences they must have taken this step, these women who work as domestic workers (maids) think that the life can be much better outside the sponsor's house but after leaving their sponsor's house they realize life was much better back there. When they find themselves trapped in situations there are some gangs here in Kuwait who never miss this opportunity to trap this woman with the help of other women who are also the part of this gang and some taxi drivers who always target this run away women.These women's (who are working for this gangs) target their victim in supermarkets, school or public places.First they become their friend's and then bring them the proposal or offer them a good job with good salaries the victim who is already suffering or the one who willing to earn more easily becomes their target and decide to take this step.
Once the victim get ready to run, with the help of the taxi driver (who is also the part of the gang)
This women's easy escape their sponsors house and than these drivers sold them to brothels.
Some can't bare the work load and get frustrated with the situation and take this step with the help of their relatives or friends and co-worker to run
away and find a place to live,
we can't always blame the sponsors or the woman whom they call "The Maid" these women pay a huge amount of money to travel abroad and the sponsors pay a huge amount of money to agents to hire the maids.
In this case both are victims one who have paid the huge amount of money,and doesn't get good sponsor and the one who have paid huge amount of money to hire her, it always depends upon the luck to get a good boss or a good employee.
Before hiring them the sponsors have to make an agreement with their respective Embassy, so their Embassy gets involved between the employer and employee (sponsor and maid) but none of the Embassies are bothered or take care about it.
These women should be provided with the helpline number of their respective Embassy before they travel abroad to work.
I known it's their choice to choose the work and the place but it's also their nation's responsibility to care about them.
