In Kenya and Uganda, the housekeeping and nanny industries often lead to dangerous situations for women seeking work in Saudi Arabia. A shocking number of women have died or been abused while working there, with autopsies and reports failing to provide clear answers. Recruitment agencies are misleading women with promises of high wages and opportunities, only to take advantage of them once they arrive in Saudi Arabia. Powerful people, including government officials and members of the Saudi royal family, are profiting off of these vulnerable women. Despite widespread evidence of abuse, leaders in Kenya and Uganda continue to send workers abroad with minimal safeguards in place. Women who are abused have little recourse, facing apathy and impunity when seeking help. Families of those who are seriously injured or killed face challenges navigating red tape and often have to pay for their loved ones’ return home. The disturbing reality of the housekeeping and nanny industry in Saudi Arabia highlights the need for stronger protections and oversight to prevent further exploitation and harm to vulnerable workers.
