On 1 July 2021, BBC published a podcast discussing the situation of women Sierra Leonean domestic workers in Oman and shedding a light on the poor working and living conditions as well as the labour abuses faced them. One Sierra Leonean female domestic worker was promised work as cook in Oman by a recruiter in Senegal. However, when she arrived in Oman, her passport was seized and was forced to work as a domestic worker. She alleged that she was forced to work extremely long hours, that her employer did not provide her with good food or accommodation, and that she was paid less than the agreed salary or not at all.

On 1 July 2021, BBC published a podcast discussing the situation of women Sierra Leonean domestic workers in Oman and shedding a light on the poor working and living conditions as well as the labour abuses faced them. Among the cases highlighted in the podcast was the case of a female domestic worker from Sierra Leone who came to Oman to work in a restaurant or a supermarket. However, when she arrived, she was told that she would be a maid. She alleged that the family she was working for, was treating her in an inhumane way; they did not give her anything to eat except for leftover rice. Her employer’s wife hit her every time she did not understand the instructions. In one instance she was deprived of food and water for two days. She further alleged that she was sexually harassed by her employer; he was threatening to kill her if she tells anyone. One day, in the middle of night, the employer told her to get in his car and he took her to the street and left her there, while he kept all her documents with him.

Two hundred young women from Sierra Leone, west Africa, have been trapped in the Arabian sultanate of Oman, desperate to get home. Promised work in shops and restaurants, they say they were tricked into becoming housemaids, working up to 18 hours a day, often without pay, and sometimes abused by their employers. Some ran away, to live a dangerous underground existence at the mercy of the authorities – but now they are being rescued and repatriated, and some are empowering themselves as independent farmers back home. Tim Whewell tells their story.
