The Minister of Labor and Foreign Employment Mr. Manusha Nanayakkara is preparing to completely stop sending Sri Lankan women as domestic workers for foreign jobs.
The Minister has today (20) ordered the top management of the Foreign Employment Bureau and the Association of Licensed Foreign Employment Agencies to provide him with a proposal and plans for the same.
The minister also emphasized the importance of stopping the sending of female workers as domestic workers and sending workers only for trained employment opportunities that can fetch high salaries.
Accordingly, in the discussion held today, the Minister informed that this proposal should be submitted to him by involving all the parties involved in the field to completely stop the sending of domestic workers for foreign jobs within 10 years.
