Blurred image of victim<\/strong><\/p>\nAn SOS from a \u2018distressed\u2019 Ghanaian woman in Lebanon has underscored once more the plight of domestic helps \u2018exported\u2019 to the Gulf States.<\/p>\n
A lady, whose name withheld, claimed to be
\ndistressed sent a voice message to a Ghanaian worker in Dubai calling for her
\nagent in Ghana to have her repatriated because she was suffering at the hands
\nof her employers. <\/p>\n
It was the Ghanaian in Dubai who gave his
\nname as Richard who reached out to somebody on voice asking him to intervene by
\ngetting in touch with the local agent whose phone number was included in the
\nmessage. <\/p>\n
Richard in Dubai said the lady claimed she
\nhad been denied Whatsapp access and so depended on alternative means of
\ncommunication. <\/p>\n
An audio of the victim had her saying \u201cget
\nin touch with the agent in Ghana to have me returned home. The job I am doing
\nhere in Lebanon is not good for my health. On 11th<\/sup> of last month, I
\nfell down and lost consciousness and when I was taken to hospital my madam said
\nthe doctor said there was nothing wrong with me. He said a certain fluid was
\npoured on me and that was responsible for my feeling unwell. Some of my
\ncolleagues told me about how I was beaten when I lost consciousness once more
\nin the office.<\/p>\n\u201cWhen I told them that I wanted to go home
\nthey said since I had not finished my contract I must remain until the period
\nwas due and that is in a year and three months from now. I told them that my
\nmother was dead and so I must go home and perform some rites. Please call the
\nagent and threaten him with an arrest; that could have him put pressure on my
\nemployers to release me. The agent in Ghana can get in touch with the one in
\nLebanon to work out my return. If I am not returned I could fall down from a
\nstorey building, in which case only my\u00a0
\nremains would be returned home.\u201d<\/p>\n
When DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong> reached out to the local agent who lives in Accra on phone, he said he recognized the lady but was quick to explain that he was surprised at her behavior. \u201cThis lady is happy with her condition at her place of work in Lebanon. She sent an amount of GH\u00a21000 to me in appreciation for my service. I am a licenced employment agent in spite of the ban on the sending of workers to the Gulf States, which is valid until 2020. I am a responsible person with a wife and children. She is in good hands in Lebanon. It is true that she told her employer that her mother is dead. The employer told her that her return would not restore the life of the dead and so she should stay and finish her contract. She has made calls to so many people about this issue\u201d Ali told DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong>. The lady, he said, hails from the Brong Ahafo Region. <\/p>\nBy A.R.
