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.
