It is unwise to send women in such a bulk quantities in an ordinary household job especially to Middle East Arab countries?
I had very bad experiences during my 15 years of services as Medical Practitioner in the ministry of health, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia doing medical job from city life up to remote area in the deserts and oasis knowing INS and out of their family life. Their attitude and behaviour towards the women of third world countries are substandard type below the level of humanity.
When they don't show any respect to their own women how they can show respect to foreign women of third world countries.
India, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and many other countries stopped sending their women now a days to these Arab countries to do job in their private houses except qualified Sisters (Nurses) doing job in Hospital or in Health centres under the direct supervision of Health Ministry.
Others as for example job in their private house's though they used to tell so many lucrative offer they are talking all bullshits but practically used them as slaves as or more than that in their houses.
Our govt should have a second thought before taking such an unwise and drastic decision.

Minister for Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment Engineer Khondaker Mosharraf Hossain today said the government is planning to send one lakh women workers abroad within next one year after giving them necessary training. "We will open separate wings in our some foreign missions to look after the issues of women workers so they (workers) can get prompt help if necessary," he said while talking to the officers of Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET) here.
Outlining the growing demand for women workers in the Middle- Eastern countries, the minister said they (Middle-East) are looking back towards Bangladeshi workers for their (workers) utmost sincerity.
At the first stage, BMET would impart training to 1500 women selected by local government representatives across the county, he said adding that these trained women would be kept ready for sending as soon as the demand comes.
He said the workers would have to pay a nominal amount as training fee after being nominated for a particular job abroad. Besides, all necessary expenditure would be borne by the foreign recruiting agencies, Mosharraf said.
To materialize the target of sending more workers abroad, steps have to be taken to strengthen the BMET and the government has already taken some measures in this regard, the minister added.
"We are aware of different hazards for the women workers in the foreign countries and are talking with the authorities of the concerned countries to ensure congenial working atmosphere," he said.
He said every woman would be provided with a SIM card so that she can talk to her family members and keep contact with embassy officials when needed.
Director General of BMET Khorshed Alam Chowdhury and other officials were present on the occasion.
