DMW defers sending first-time job seekers to Kuwait until after reform READ MORE:
DMW Secretary Susan Ople said the suspension was to ensure the safety and welfare of OFWs following the murder of of household service worker Jullebee Ranara last month.
“Those who have never worked as domestic helpers abroad, including those who have worked as household helpers in other countries but not in Kuwait, would need to wait for their deployment because the department wants to ensure that there is a better monitoring system and a faster response system,” she said.
“As a result of our talks with Saudi Arabia, a joint technical working group was created to thresh out various problems and concerns, and that group meets every week through virtual means,” Ople said. The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration reported that on Jan.21, OFW Myla Balbag fell from the third floor of her employer’s house in the residential area of Hateen while trying to escape an abusive employer who beat her for using the social media application Tiktok in her room.
