Faced with high unemployment, several African migrants travel to Saudi Arabia with the promise of a good pay. But they are often subjected to depravation.
The Ghana Immigration Service said in a report in 2015 that over 2,000 young Ghanaian women were stranded in Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon only after five months of reaching the countries through fake recruitment agencies that promised them lucrative jobs.
