THE Overseas Workers Welfare Administration yesterday warned Filipinos wishing to work abroad, particularly in Dubai, against a white slavery syndicate promising good paying jobs.
The OWWA-NAIA issued this warning after a Filipina, who was forced to work as a sex slave, escaped from a prostitution den in Dubai. The victim's name was temporarily withheld.
She is now under the custody of the Philippine Consulate Office in Dubai and is undergoing counselling.
The victim escaped from the white slavery house when its guard fell asleep. A Filipino worker who found her straying in the street helped her.
The victim said there are other OFWs locked up in the sex den who were forced into prostitution by the syndicate.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and the OWWA are now moving to rescue and repatriate the OFWs.
Meanwhile, 20 OFWs who were all victims of abuses returned from Dubai over the weekend.

Hi,
I think there are many departments and organizations in the world whose works for the welfare of the peoples.For Example THE Overseas Workers Welfare Administration yesterday warned Filipinos wishing to work abroad, particularly in Dubai, against a white slavery syndicate promising good paying jobs.
Any woman wanting to work overseas should look at the way women in that country are treated before deciding its worth it
