Published on May 2, 2021, a report highlighted the dire situation of Kenyan women working in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states.
With unemployment on the rise in Kenya, many women have turned to working as house helps in the Gulf states in search of a better life. However, their experiences have been far from ideal, with some even losing their lives in the process.
According to reports, some Kenyan women have returned home in coffins, a stark reminder of the risks and hardships they face while working abroad.
The situation has raised concerns about the treatment of migrant workers in Saudi Arabia and the need for better protection and support for those who choose to work abroad.
