Miles away; an oppressed Ghanaian migrant dies with her wish

Stories about Ghanaian and other African migrants being maltreated and in some cases, being abused to death in the Gulf countries such as Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates is not a new development to the news media. Reports on such cases come out regularly—some under bizarre circumstances.

Some of the stories are too horrific to imagine. However, in spite of the inhumane treatment many domestic migrant workers suffer in the hands of their employers in the Gulf countries, with some losing their lives in the process, many young Ghanaian men and women through unidentifiable recruitment agencies still travel to theseGulf countries to seek what they term as ‘greener pastures.’

Many of these desirous travelers are with the hope that by going to the Gulf countries, they are inching close to their dreams of making a better life.
