Indian envoy meets distressed women workers in Oman

Indian envoy meets distressed women workers in Oman

The Indian Ambassador to Oman, Prashant Pise, met with Indian women who are domestic workers in Oman and are facing problems.

These women are staying at a shelter run by the Indian Embassy.

The ambassador listened to their complaints and promised to help solve their issues quickly.

Some of these women have been treated badly by their employers, not paid, or forced to work very long hours.

One woman, Shabnam Begum, said she was promised a good job but instead was made to work long hours without pay and was treated poorly.

The Indian Embassy is working to help these women and has agreements with Gulf countries to protect Indian workers.
