Not all Overseas Filipino Workers find their luck in working abroad. There are some OFWs who succeeded and made their lives better but no for many OFWs who had been maltreated and abused.
the common thing about the Filipinos why they want to work abroad is that they want to find greener pastures to support their family and to give them a better future.
about a big chunk of OFWs come to the Middle East, particularly in Kuwait, UAE and Saudi Arabia where reports of abuse are rampant. Being in an unfamiliar territory with people with strange culture is already a burden that could put you in shock, how much more if your fellow Filipino, whom you expect to help you are the ones who would never even think twice on despising you?
