We have reliably learnt that the stranded Ugandan girls are in safe custody and are making final preparations before they land back home. The girls who had left the country to seek greener pastures in the Arab world as maids were rescued following a shocking confession about how they were being tortured and exploited.
The heart wrenching whatsapp audio which went viral left the nation in a state of shock and the government immediately imposed a ban on further exportation of girls as maids. The young women are victims not only of unscrupulous employment agencies but also the prevailing youth unemployment rate which stands at over 80%.
The agencies take advantage of the often desperate conditions of the unemployment youth willing to take the risk into foreign land. They make heaven and earth promises claiming they will earn millions of dollars but with minimal workload.
At Howwe, we hope their nasty experience will spur the youth to think outside the basket rather than seek avenues for escapist tendencies.
Welcome to the Pearl of Africa, your well endowed Mother land.
