Pinay medical worker raped in Saudi Arabia 

August 6, 2013 12:47am

A Filipina medical worker in Saudi Arabia was raped by her two project managers, according to a "24 Oras" report on Monday.

The Filipina, had arrived in the KSA last February to work in a rehabilitation center.

However, the terms her of employment were not met and she asked her superiors' leave to return to the Philippines

Her employers then supposedly asked the OFW to pay 5,000 Saudi riyal (or P58,000), to pay back two months of her salary and for a ticket home.

But instead of being brought to the Riyadh for the flight back to the Philippines, she was taken to Yanbu City where she was raped by her Indian and Saudi project managers in an abandoned house.

"Nagmamakawa po ako sa kanila na huwag nila gawin," the OFW tearfully related.

Her rapists tried to keep her locked up but she was able to seek help from her fellow workers. She was then able to file a complaint with the Saudi police.

She also sought aid from the Philippine Overseas Labor Office in Jeddah, but received no help.

The OFW had also sought assistance from the Philippine Consulate.

The victim is still in Saudi Arabia, under the care of concerned OFWs.

Group raps violent dispersal of distressed Pinoys in Saudi

THE International Coordinating Committee for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICCHRP) has assailed the Aquino administration for remaining silent on the crackdown on undocumented overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Saudi Arabia.

ICCHRP is a global network of non-governmental organizations, community and advocate groups and individuals outside the Philippines that are concerned with the human-rights situation in the Philippines and supports campaigns to end rights violations in the country.

The ICCHRP also condemned the violent dispersal of about 100 stranded undocumented Filipino workers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on July 2 that led to the arrest and torture of at least three leaders of the protesting workers by the Saudi police.
Initial reports reaching ICCHRP indicate that the violent dispersal was a joint action by the Saudi police and Philippine Embassy officials.

The arrested Filipinos were also allegedly subjected to electric shock treatment at the Saudi police station.

Migrant Filipino workers have been demanding their immediate repatriation to the Philippines, but the Aquino administration has been “noynoying” (doing nothing) on their urgent plea, Migrante International said.

The stranded undocumented Filipinos have been camping out in front the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh after they were forcibly terminated and asked to leave by their employers when the Saudi government began a crackdown on undocumented migrant workers several months ago.

They decided to camp out in front of the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh because they have nowhere else to go after the Saudi government announced that it would crack down on undocumented migrant workers, Migrante International said in a statement.

Many of the stranded undocumented Filipinos are women and nursing mothers, including a mother with a four-month-old baby.
Reports from Migrante International’s Middle East leaders said that in Jeddah, there were actually 1,400 stranded undocumented Filipinos camped out outside the consulate.

Another 2,000 are in Riyadh and about 5,000 more are in Jeddah.

Hundreds have camped out in front the embassy compound after officials decided to padlock and close the gates of the mission in Riyadh, leaving the stranded Filipinos without any assistance and provisions such as food, water, mats and sleeping sheets and shelter from the searing Saudi heat.

On July 2 about a hundred stranded undocumented Filipinos started a protest in front of the Philippine Embassy after their request for a dialogue was allegedly ignored by Ambassador Ezzedin Tago.

The ICCHRP demanded an immediate investigation into the arrest and torture of the Filipinos, immediate repatriation for the stranded workers, and the recall, investigation and expulsion from the foreign service of Tago and other embassy officials in Saudi Arabia.

“This brutal incident comes on the heels of the scandal involving Philippine Embassy officials in the Middle East who reportedly demanded sex from stranded Filipinos in exchange for air tickets and immediate repatriation to the Philippines,” the group said.

The plight of Filipino workers abroad is one of the concerns that will be tackled in the International Conference for Human Rights and Peace in the Philippines from July 19 to 21.

Jointly organized by the ICCHRP, Karapatan, EcuVoice, Peace for Life and the International League of Peoples’ Struggle, the conference will be attended by more than 200 human- rights defenders and peace advocates from all over the globe.

SISTERHOOD OF CAREGIVERS


We suggest that all organizations like AAFQ establish a Sisterhood of Caregivers -- wherein a member adopts a NEWCOMER caregiver for a year -- to be her guide and mentor, moral support and prevention -- from becoming a slave.
