| dc.description.abstract | The legal and illegal ways of migration to Arab countries like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been practiced for many years. The main purpose of the migration is in search of employment in order to send their family remittances to improve living standards at their homes. During this process, migrants might face deportation by the government of destination countries. This study was done for the purpose of understanding the opportunities and challenges of deported women and girls from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, focusing on the women and girls living in Addis Ababa. The study employed qualitative research approach. The focus group participants, key informants and individuals for an in-depth interview were selected using purposive and snowball sampling methods of research. It is also supported by secondary source of data. These methods and research approaches are formulated to answer the following research questions. The findings reveal that the women and girls migrate to KSA to improve their living standard and to support their family back at home. Unemployment, poverty and recurrent drought are the key driving forces for migration to KSA and the Middle East. However, after being deported returnees, they have a significant social, moral and psychological problems and mostly they are not welcomed by the families and the surrounding community. There is support from Government and NGOs, however it does not reach out to most of the deported returnees. There is also lack of adequate support and a long term coping strategy. The study recommends by highlighting that there is a desperate need for acceptance and embracement for the women girls for an effective rehabilitation. Moreover, close cooperation between all parties, families, community and Government with the purpose of paving the way for a bright future and good opportunity, and most importantly moral and psychological support are needed for the better rehabilitation of these forced returnees.
