'Girls sent illegally to UAE forced into prostitution'
December 14, 2004
New Delhi - The Government has advised the Labour Ministry to take immediate
measures to meet the potential dangers of Indian girls sent illegally to Dubai
and other countries and forced into prostitution, the Lok Sabha was informed
today.
The External Affairs Ministry had received a report from the Consulate General
of India reminding Joint Secretary and Protector General of Emigrants, Ministry
of Labour about a few cases where young girls were brought from India on Visit
and Employment Visa by unscrupulous agents, Human Resouce Development Minister
Kanti Singh said in a written reply.
The state governments had been issued instructions to create an awareness among
job seekers through print and visual media about the potential dangers of
taking up jobs without proper verification.
The agents involved in arranging visas might also be identifed and appropriate
action be taken to curtail such undesirable activities.
The women coming on employment visa without Emigration Check Not Required
stamped in their passport should not be allowed emigration clearance unless
they produce attested copies of relevant documents from the Consulate and
Embassy and those coming on visit visa should produce a declaration from the
sponsor, attested by the Indian Mission concerned, the state governments had
been told, she added.
