The two women are sitting in a dirty apartment in west Delhi. The noise of traffic filters through the windows with curtains. It is dark and speaking a few hours before his rescue and how - if -. Can return home about 1,000 miles away

Malti, 22 and Sita, 35, promised well-paid job in the Middle East. No more than the Gulf. Instead, they were stripped of their valuables, travel documents and mobile and fixed with 18 other people in a room in an apartment summarized in the Indian capital for four months. He denied any outside contact, were released only when the police, acting on a tip-off, raided the "human tank" where women are kept.

The couple suffered a wave of violence that women more Indians are recruited by unscrupulous agents work in the Middle East.

3517 traffic incidents were in India in 2011, says the country's national crime records Bureau, 3422 compared to the previous year. Most involve women, often very poor, were seized by force or deception in the domestic life of forced labor or sex work in India. But increasingly, police and activists discover illegal operations channel for women in countries like Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.

Much work smoothly, send money to their families. But others are victims of unscrupulous brokers and often violent. Whenever they are forced into prostitution.

Begum, 27, a mother of four almost Hyderabad, South India, said he had paid 10,000 rupees (? 120) for an agent to Saudi Arabia after being promised a well paid job as a housekeeper. Instead, she was locked in a warehouse and then sold as a sex worker at an auction for the equivalent of ? 300, beaten, imprisoned and beaten. "I was afraid that you might become pregnant. Doing, I thought it might kill me," he said. She was released by her captor's wife, after months of detention in a room in his house in Riyadh, the Saudi capital.

stories are more familiar with the police. The problem of human trafficking is huge, said Neeraj Kumar, head of the Delhi Police. In one case last year, was a revelation, he said. About 40 women were arrested by the police at the airport in Delhi, in an operation launched in collaboration with the authorities of Mumbai and UAE. They were intended to brothels, researchers believe.

In another police operation last April, a network traffic of Bangalore, who sent more than 200 women in the Gulf began. The group has received about ? 2,500 for every woman who has given brothels in Muscat and Dubai.

Most women recruited by agents from very poor and often illiterate. Impossible to verify the claims exaggerated or misleading, travel voluntarily. In the case of Bangalore, the women said they were to be servants, and then forced into prostitution. The release operation of Delhi said to be dancers. Begum Anis said she could earn ? 125 per month, four times his salary as a hospital clean.

The two women released from Delhi flat-cum-prison were typical of many victims. Nobody forced them to leave their homes and Malti, in northern West Bengal, had already spent two years in Saudi Arabia, where he was mistreated or denied or paid as a housekeeper. She tried to return to the Gulf to work harder when she became involved with the jailed agent.

Sita, an illiterate mother of five whose husband earns about 130 rupees per day (€ 1.60) as a laborer when he can find work, had no idea where he going or what to expect when he left his people, also affected by poverty in northern India last summer.

"They told me that I would have a good salary for a woman who came to me. I have to feed my children, I went with it. Had high hopes. Delhi, I brought a train, but then I was locked up, "said Sita.
