"I Already Bought You" Abuse and Exploitation of Female Migrant Domestic Workers in the United Arab Emirates
Published By: Human Rights Watch | Published Date: October, 23 , 2014This Human Rights Watch report documents how the UAE’s visa sponsorship system, known as kafala, and the lack of labour law protections leave migrant domestic workers exposed to abuse. Domestic workers, most from Asia and Africa, cannot move to a new job before their contracts end without the employer’s consent, trapping many in abusive conditions. Labour-sending countries don’t fully protect the workers against deceptive recruitment practices or provide adequate assistance to abused nationals abroad.
