Yes we must do that and we should not allow their employees or anyone step on the rights of our workers abroad.

Considering the situation of vulnerability in which migrant workers and members of their families frequently-find themselves owing, among other things, to their absence from their State of origin and to the difficulties they may encounter arising from their presence in the State of employment,
Countries of origin can play a major role in protecting their migrant workers abroad through an institutionalized welfare fund, but policymakers need to exercise caution given the limitations governments in origin countries face.
We heard news about the replete abuse encountered by our migrant workers. Let us help protect them and fight for their rights.
Migrants and workers are also entitled to some respect. Not just because they are migrants and do the labor but because they are humans. They all have the right in anything.
Protecting human rights of our overseas workers is a great help for them. Their life in the other country is not easy. They all need our support and help.
I agree so much with you. They all need our help. If not financially, or in human rights, but by prayers.
Yes, even if we’re not abroad we can always help our fellow men protect their human rights.
It’s not to destroy Middle East’s reputation. But many incidents proved that it’s not really safe to just leave our migrant workers there. But, not only in Middle East but as well as on other countries too.
