Answer 1

The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is composed of four provinces and two federal territories, one of which is known as the Tribal Areas along the central Afghanistan border.  Nearly a third of the country's 140 million people live in poverty.  As a result, aside from the illegal trafficking of women and children, many Pakistani women voluntarily migrate overseas to a number of countries to work as domestic servants.  There are numerous strict, gender discriminating laws (Hudood laws) still on the government books from the late 1970's, but I know of no law that specifically prohibits overseas domestic employment.
