Malawi govt finally brings back 60 trafficked women from Kuwait

March 13, 2017 Nyasa Times Reporter 

Malawi Government has finally brought back home 60 trafficked women from
Kuwait, ending a long standing contentious human trafficking issue.

Shumba: They are back

Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Rejoice  Chaponda Shumba said the
women arrived in the country on March, 2017.

Shumba said this means the government has managed to send back home all the
Malawian trafficked women who were stranded in Kuwait for close to a year
after they were rescued and were under the care of Malawi mission in Kuwait.

She  however could not say how much the government has spent on the air
tickets, food and accommodation whilst in the care of the Malawi mission in
Kuwait.

The women were exposed to slavery like jobs and prostitution whilst in
Kuwait contrary to the good jobs they were promised before they went to
Kuwait.

They could not escape because their passports were confisticated by their
employers.
