Findings on the Distribution of Consular Embassies

OFWs are largely concentrated in the Muslim territories like Saudi and the UAE. These countries are hotbed of migrant problems basically due to the socio-cultural, language and legal differences between Christians and Muslims. By the fact that OFWs in these areas are non-Arabic speaking and alien to the Muslim norms and conduct (approx. 98%), prejudice and hostilities are common tendencies. These are compounded by the fact that majority of our OFWs are non-skilled.
