Management of women migrant workers

From Media Indonesia

With great enthusiasm and hope, a number of Indonesian women -- married or single -- register themselves at workers recruitment agencies to work overseas and help feed their families.

Unfortunately, while abroad, many of these migrant workers have been subjected to torture. They have to suffer physically and mentally. Some of them are now being treated at Kramatjati Police Hospital in Jakarta.

As many Indonesian migrant workers have had similar experiences, the Indonesian government must take steps to ensure that these women will not have to go hardship when working abroad, among other things, to ensure that these women have an adequate knowledge of the language and the culture of the country where they are sent.
