    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Let me first start by congratulating the Prime Cabinet Secretary for making time to appear before the Senate from his very busy schedule. Mine is just a concern about our girls who go to Saudi Arabia to work. I have interacted with many of them who have managed to come back after much suffering. They say that their passports are taken away by the bosses who they go to work for and kept there. The agreement that many of them have with the agents is that they are going to work in a particular home. However, once they arrive there, they are allocated to work in different homes, like three or four. Some tell me that they work even in six homes so; they hardly have time to rest. There are also mistreatments like having no food. Once they escape and go to the rescue centres or police station, they find that they cannot be allowed to travel back home because they have no funds to travel back home, and no travelling document because the document is kept by their bosses. What is the Ministry doing about such issues to make sure that our people are safe and secure? Why can the agents who are not registered be arrested because majority of them are known? Thank you."
