Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
The Human Rights Protection Foundation (HRPF), Udupi, has appealed to public to be wary and avoid 'unregistered recruiting agents' after they came across a case a woman from Karkala, entrapped for about 10 months in Saudi Arabia, almost working as a bonded labour. Foundation president Ravindranath Shanbhag said Jacinta Mendonca, 46, from Karkala, with three children in their teens pursuing education, landed in Saudi Arabia though a sub-agent, James from Mangaluru, who had assured her a house maid's job in Qatar for a salary of Rs 25,000 per month. She left from Mumbai to Qatar on June 19, 2016, but landed in Yanbhu, Saudi Arabia.
