The tendency of migration reoccurrence to the Middle Eastern countries particularly SaudirnArabia has been a prevalent condition in our contemporary Ethiopia. Although there has been arnrestrictive law by the Government many have and intend, re-emigrated and re-repatriated for thernsecond time even after the mass deportation. They even are drowned and starved in the hands ofrntraffickers‟ and killed in the process. Although the composition of migrants from Ethiopiarncontains both male and female migrants the number of female migrants is increasing at a veryrnhigh rate. Adding to this their vulnerability to be victimized in the hands of trafficker‟s,rnemployers and officials they still tend to migrate. Thus this research attempts to see why womenrnmigrants make decisions to migrate to the Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia. Thernstudy explores where and how these women are deprived of their basic human rights enjoymentsrnby deploying explorative, ethnographical and qualitative method of study with narrativernanalytical presentation. Then it suggests mainstreaming a Human Rights Based Approach in therngeneral design of the national plan and the livelihood opportunity creating and reintegrationrnwith best effect practice could be a best solution. The study also forwards a human rightsrnorientation should be included in the current livelihood opportunity creation and reintegrationrnmechanisms in order to curve the problem. It further suggests by providing human rights bestrneffect practice the root cause for economic migration as well as poverty can be detoured andrnboth the means and end can be mate if holistic approach is provided in the reintegration processrnand in the livelihood opportunity creation. The major findings of the study are that migrationrndecisions are not individual decisions rather household decisions and the households are alsornfound to be in poor economic conditions. The male domination in the power relation of gender isrnsignificantly seen in the pre departure stage. Women‟s vulnerability to exploitative work, sexualrnabuse and wage denial and loss of position in the mass deportation from Saudi Arabia has againrnstrong contribution to strangle the women. Although strong effort from government organs,rnnongovernmental organs and other business stakeholders the livelihood opportunity andrnreintegration mechanisms lack what the basic human rights based approach enquires and thus,rnreturnees are still not smoothly reintegrated. Furthermore, the work also suggests thatrnlegislative gaps need to be filled in order to provide safe migration policy and full protection tornthe Saudi Arabia returnees. The migration recurrent circular cycle and culture as described byrninternational Organization (IOM) and Ministry of labor and social affairs (MoLSA) can bernbrought to solution with human rights best practice.
