Refleksi : Agaknya salah satu langkah untuk mencegah perdangangan manusia dari Indonesia bisa dibuat dengan cara yang dilakukan oleh Ethiopia.
http://www.kuwaittimes.net/read_news.php?newsid=ODgwNzkwMjM= Ethiopian embassy's wise request Published Date: August 15, 2010 By Muna Alfuzai A request was made by the Ethiopian embassy in Kuwait to the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ban all Ethiopian citizen's requests for a visa unless it has been approved by their embassy in Kuwait. That great idea is one that I wish had been made a long time ago. According to the Ethiopian embassy in Kuwait, their demand was made after they discovered that thousands of their citizens entered the country without a business contract with an official authority. Embassy records showed that about 30,000 Ethiopian maids were in Kuwait as domestic helpers while non-official records estimate the number to be around 50,000. So that means there are about 20,000 Ethiopian citizens in the country on tourist visas with no business other than to get involved in crime. I believe that this situation is a threat to the safety of many Ethiopians who may not realize that this situation will lead them toward a life of crime and prostitution. I believe that the embassy is right to call for this arrangement with the Kuwaiti government. The pimps who bring these Ethiopian females make quick money by selling these women to gangs here. The bottom line is that their human rights get abused and they get nothing but pain. The embassy is right to call for such ban and end the misery of many uneducated and poor women who find themselves lost, confused and often jailed. These Ethiopian women don't know who brought them to the country, they are simply unaware of who their sponsors are! This is a dilemma for everyone. Another problem is that Kuwait becomes plagued by gangs. The only thing they can do is send violators to jail and then back to their country. This is a burden Kuwait should not have to deal with. I believe that the Ethiopian embassy's actions are very responsible. It will help their citizens live with dignity no matter where they are. muna@ kuwaittimes.net [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Post message: [email protected] Subscribe : [email protected] Unsubscribe : [email protected] List owner : [email protected] Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
