Udupi: A woman from Karkala who was stranded in Saudi Arabia for the last 15 months was finally rescued on Friday. Ravindranath Shanbhag, president of the Human Right Protection Foundation (HRPF) of Udupi, and NRI associations in Jeddah succeeded in having the 42-year-old woman, Jacinta, released from her employer Abdul Almutairy in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia.
Jacinta was a victim of human trafficking. After the demise of her husband, she contacted an agent, James, who claimed to represent a Mumbai-based foreign recruitmen agency. She was directed to one Shabhakhan in Mumbai. Both promised to help her to get a job as a governess for an Indian family in Qatar. As they did not collect a fee for the passport and visa,
Jacinta believed them and traveled to the Middle East on June 19, 2016. There she found that she had to look after the 10 children of a Saudi employer, putting in 16-hour days. Her health deteriorated and her pleas fell on deaf ears. She was physically assaulted by her employer.
