The Government of India has created shelters for distressed women migrant workers in its embassies abroad. These provide safe-haven for women who may have been trafficked or escaped employers due to exploitation or abuse. Embassies work closely with community-based organisations in assisting domestic workers in communicating with employers, recruitment agencies and issues surrounding lack of pay and compensation. They also give labour helplines and helpdesks run by labour attaches to provide legal assistance to migrant workers.
