Kenyan Women's Ordeal in Saudi Arabia: A Cry for Help and a Call for Action

Kenyan Women Detail Abuse in Saudi Arabia: A Call for Protection Nairobi, Kenya – A recent SpiceFMKe broadcast has brought to light the harrowing experiences of Kenyan women working as domestic helpers in Saudi Arabia. The women shared accounts of physical and sexual abuse, alongside significantly low wages, painting a grim picture of their working conditions. "Save us from this nightmare," pleaded one woman, her voice trembling. Another added, "The money is far less than promised, and we are treated terribly." Mark Bicachi, a communication strategist, joined the discussion and expressed the urgent need for Kenya to intervene. He stated, "Kenya should ban people from going to Saudi Arabia for certain jobs." His concern stems from the numerous reports of abuse and exploitation, highlighting the inherent dangers faced by Kenyan workers in Saudi Arabia. The discussion also highlighted the disparity in treatment between workers from other countries such as Singapore, whose governments actively protect their citizens working abroad. The video underscores the need for stronger protection and oversight for Kenyan migrant workers to prevent further abuse and ensure fair treatment.
