Saudi is abolishing this system.
And yet, this literal modern slavery barely comes up in the news
eeuh sounds awfully like Canada migrant worker program
Ahhh yes the „religion of peace“
I’m sure it’s the lax workers rights in those nations that result in modern day slavery. This “sponsorship” system is implemented in nearly all countries, obviously including the U.S, where we don’t see those workers being exploited anywhere near what’s happening in say the UAE.
Edit: Turns out they give up their passports to the companies in order to participate in this system. The governments (gulf states) obviously do NOT allow that to happen de jure (up to 3 years per passport in UAE), but some of them majorly turn a blind eye to the issue and probably hand out smaller sentences when found out.
Does this extend to Cristiano Ronaldo?
Props to Yemen for not implementing the kafala system 💪
I know about house maids going to middlea east from Sri Lanka. Their passports are taken from them by the house owner or the agency that recruited them. Then they are forced to work from as early as 4 AM till midnight daily without breaks, doing child care, cleaning, cooking, washing etc. Some gets beaten, hot boiling water thrown over them, sexually assaulted, nails/pins driven undee their skin by the employers.
The only thing they can do is escape and run away to the Sri Lankan embassy, where they have to spend sometimes months at the embassy safe houses in harsh conditions. And they are sent back home without any money.
I have seen numerous cases like this over the years. Things seems to have improved more as the employment agencies are better regulated now. But it still happens .
It is the worst in the UAE, then Qatar, then Saudi Arabia, then all the other countries.
Wait what? No Jews no news!
There is this indian movie called „Aadujeevitham“/“The goat life“, which released last year based on the real life tragedy of a man from Kerala, Najeeb Muhammed, who was trapped and forced to work in Saudi desert for over 3 and half years as a slave and luckily escaped from there. The movie earned well, especially in the native state of the the person. The movie was banned in most of the gcc countries except for UAE. Then again, the movie was removed from Netflix due to negative reviews and backlashes from the same countries. You can check the imdb to see how much Saudi users have bombarded the film with one stars.
