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.
