 Nepal’s international airport may be colluding with traffickers to send thousands of poor illiterate women to work illegally in Gulf nations where they are exploited and abused, the head of a parliamentary panel said on Friday.
Around 20 percent of the impoverished Himalayan nation’s almost 29 million people are migrant workers in the Middle East, as well as countries such as Malaysia and South Korea — generating remittances that make up a quarter of Nepal’s GDP.Nepal has strict screening procedures for women travelling to Gulf nations due to reports they are lured by traffickers into job as maids where they are forced to work long hours for low wages – and are physically and sexually abused by employers.

But Nepali lawmaker Prabhu Sah, who heads a parliamentary panel appointed to probe reports of abuse of Nepali migrants in the Middle East, said he found many women were still being duped and were being trafficked via the international airport.
“Half of the women we met told us that they had left from Kathmandu’s airport without being questioned by authorities, while the other half had travelled through India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka,” Sah told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
