A Woman’s Traumatic 35-day Ordeal of Torture After Being Sold in Oman

A Woman’s Traumatic 35-day Ordeal of Torture After Being Sold in Oman
A 27-year-old woman from Dang, who went abroad with the hope of earning money, returned home after 35 days with physical and mental injuries that will not be forgotten for the rest of her life. She had to go abroad to fulfill her family responsibilities. Even though she went to Kuwait, she reached Oman after being tricked by an agent.
Her passport and documents were taken while reaching the office in Oman. Contrary to her expectations, she was assigned household chores, working tirelessly from 5 in the morning until 11 at night. After realizing that she was sold off, she was tormented in her workplace physically and mentally. She said that she was fed stale food, and even food with blackworms. She endured physical abuse whenever she tried to rest, and the quality of her meals was far from satisfactory.
After enduring this ordeal, she seized an opportunity to escape while the owner of the house was asleep. She made her way to the nearby Nepali embassy where she patiently waited until morning when the embassy opened. There, she recounted her journey from her arrival in Oman to her daring escape.
Deeply concerned for her safety, the Omani embassy contacted Maiti Nepal. Through their collaborative efforts, she was safely repatriated to Nepal on October 9th, 2023. With Maiti Nepal’s support, she is determined to file a case against the individual who deceived her and took her to Oman. She expresses profound gratitude to the Omani embassy and the Maiti Nepal team for their steadfast support and dedication to her rescue.
According to Maiti Nepal data, more than 50 thousand Nepalis have been rescued from the borders of different countries, Gulf countries, India, African countries, and other countries. Maiti Nepal has rescued seven women by booking air tickets from Oman in the current fiscal year alone.
