The then ambassador to Kuwait, Madhuwan Paudel, sent a diplomatic letter on May 8, 2067, drawing the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Labor to lift the ban on female domestic workers. "The ban on female domestic workers is unreasonable, passive and discriminatory.

The ban on female domestic workers has not completely stopped the flow of people from India. And, this has only become an additional source of income for some people," the letter said, "The government should look at all these things and if the proposed system is not implemented immediately and foreign employment is not managed, the situation will become more dire and the smuggling and exploitation of workers will continue." 

Paudel mentioned in the letter that if the domestic workers are not brought under the legal framework, there is no choice but to stay by looking at the embassy. "Nepalese embassies in the Gulf, including Kuwait, which are suffering from the lack of essential manpower and resources, will be a helpless silent audience watching the problems of domestic workers," the letter said. The problems faced by female domestic workers pointed out by the then ambassador are still there after 15 years. 

Due to lack of resources and resources, embassies are unable to rescue and bring justice to exploited women workers in time. It is also necessary to send workers who are in temporary shelters to Nepal. Nepali Ambassador to Kuwait Ghanshyam Lamsal said that the woman is being rescued according to the embassy's resources and resources. We have limited resources. Accordingly, we are providing consular services," he said. 

There were 10,000 Nepali women domestic workers in Kuwait during Paudel's time. Now it has increased to more than 48 thousand. More than 150,000 domestic women have reached Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, UAE, Iraq, Lebanon and Qatar alone through the visit visa after falling into the trap of human traffickers. The government does not have the details of which employer's house these domestic workers are working in and what facilities. 

 'Despite the ban in the Gulf countries, a large number of Nepali women are working as domestic workers in various ways,' Foreign Secretary Amrit Kumar Rai said in a meeting of the Parliament's Industry and Commerce and Labor and Consumer Welfare Committee on May 25. As the process of illegal immigration has not been stopped, a strong labor agreement has not been concluded with the destination country as instructed by the parliamentary committee. It is the understanding of foreign affairs that the government of the destination country has not been pressured for a labor contract after the domestic workers have been caught in the net of human traffickers in the Gulf countries.

The parliamentary committee has been banning full and partial remittances to domestic workers according to time. National Human Rights Commission Commissioner Lily Thapa said that the government has set conditions that cannot be implemented to send domestic workers.

'When women are banned from going to foreign employment, the right to equality, the right to choose work and the right to travel has been violated by the Constitution of Nepal. The 7 conditions laid down by the parliamentary committee are very strict. The Commission has recommended to the Parliamentary Committee to remove it," she said. "We have called the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee to look into this matter in the Commission itself and discussed it. 

According to the 7-point directive issued by the Parliamentary Committee to the Ministry of Labor on October 13, 2077, those who want to hire domestic workers from Nepal must have a separate and solid legal system regarding the service, conditions and safety of domestic workers in the country, and the basic labor rights of the workers (wages, holidays (weekly/annual), social security, occupational safety and health, working hours, 24-hour insurance, additional facilities for additional work, etc.) must be ensured in the bilateral labor agreement.

In the bilateral labor agreement, a strong and effective bilateral mechanism should be arranged to solve the problems faced by domestic workers, they should receive basic training related to domestic work, acquire linguistic knowledge to be able to communicate in the language spoken in the respective countries, and acquire basic information about the traditions, customs and culture of the respective countries. 

There should be mandatory training before starting work after arriving in the respective country, there should be no discrimination in terms of service, safety, working environment and facilities between Nepali workers who do the same job and workers from the respective country, there should be strict action against sponsors, owners or family members who commit physical, mental and sexual violence against domestic workers, and there should be provisions for domestic workers to easily contact their families and embassies. 

According to this condition, labor contracts are being exchanged with Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar and other countries. However, it has not reached the level of signing. The final draft of the protocol related to the recruitment of domestic workers has been agreed with the UAE. The draft is pending in the parliamentary committee. Although it was discussed in the parliamentary committee meeting on May 25, no conclusion was reached.

Most of the parliamentarians are in favor of bringing domestic workers under the regulation, but they are not unanimous about the decision. Chairman of the committee Abdul Khan said that further discussion is necessary. Everyone is concerned and worried about women workers. It is being discussed so that we can finish it soon," he said. 

Labor, Employment and Social Security Minister Sharatsingh Bhandari said that the proposed draft on the UAE's pilot project includes the conditions set by the parliamentary committee. The Ministry of Labor has not stopped domestic workers. We are always in favor of organizing this sector. Stopping does not solve the problem. "Prohibition always opens the door to illegality," he said, adding that the UAE's pilot project could be a model. If this model is successful, domestic workers can be sent to other countries as well.'
