The migrant story: Shining a light on Gulf states’ exploitation

Migrant workers in the Gulf states are often subject to exploitation and abuse as they leave their home countries in search of better opportunities. Many workers come from countries such as India, the Philippines, and Nepal, lured by promises of high-paying jobs and a chance to support their families back home.

However, upon arrival in the Gulf states, many find themselves trapped in a cycle of debt and exploitation. Employers often withhold wages, confiscate passports, and subject workers to long hours of grueling labor in harsh conditions. Without legal protections or avenues for recourse, many migrant workers find themselves trapped in situations of extreme exploitation.

The story of migrant workers in the Gulf states sheds light on the dark underbelly of the region’s economic boom. While skyscrapers and luxury developments dot the landscape, the reality for many migrant workers is one of poverty, exploitation, and abuse.

It is crucial that we shine a light on the plight of migrant workers in the Gulf states and work towards ensuring their rights are protected. By advocating for fair wages, safe working conditions, and legal protections, we can help to create a more just and equitable society for all.
