Insurance cover for maids, drivers in Saudi

Sri Lanka has called on Saudi insurance companies to implement its mandatory insurance scheme for its domestic workers in the Kingdom.

“We have already introduced the scheme in the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. The Kingdom which has the largest concentration of housemaids in the region , will be the third country to launch this programme,” Kinglsey Ranawake, Chairman of Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) stated.

Great way to protect those innocent maids.

Also do this to all countries as well as ensure there is a monitoring system to check the status of treatment by the employers.
