Not feasible to stop women seeking jobs abroad - SLFEB chief

Many non government organisations have requested the Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Bureau (SLFEB) to stop sending women abroad for employment. However, these organisations are not providing solutions to economic problems of these women, chairman Amal Senadilankara said.

He was addressing a meeting of the ‘Rataviruwo Organisation’ at the Maharagama Divisional Secretariat Office recently.

The chairman said many women migrate for employment as housemaids to secure their children’s future.

“Therefore it is not justifiable to stop them from migrating,” Senadilankara said.

“These women go abroad to improve the lives of their family members. Therefore it is not justifiable to stop their migration,” he said.

The Rataviruwo Organisation commenced programmes to solve problems of families where women have migrated for employment. The organisation hopes to minimise problems in these families and find solutions to strengthen the future of these people, he said.

Senadilankara said the Rataviruwo Organisation will be empowered through this programme.

“A programme has been designed for the proper investment of the income earned by migrant housemaids,” he said.

A loan scheme has also been started to solve their housing problems, he said.

The chairman said the SLFEB policy is to discourage women migrating as housemaids.

Instead they propose to find lucrative employment in other skilled categories for women.

They have initiated several programmes to realise this objective.
