Human Trafficking & Modern-day Slavery Poverty drives the unsuspecting poor into the
hands of traffickers Published reports & articles

Saudi
Arabia is a destination country for men and women trafficked for the purposes
of involuntary servitude and, to a lesser extent, commercial sexual
exploitation. Men and women from Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal,
Pakistan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Sudan, Ethiopia, and many other
countries voluntarily travel to Saudi Arabia as domestic servants or other
low-skilled laborers, but some subsequently face conditions indicative of
involuntary servitude, including restrictions on movement, withholding of
passports, threats, physical or sexual abuse, and non-payment of wages.
Women, primarily from Asian and African countries are also believed to have
been trafficked into Saudi Arabia for commercial sexual exploitation; others
were reportedly kidnapped and forced into prostitution after running away
from abusive employers. Some Saudi men have
also used legally contracted “temporary marriages” in countries such as
Mauritania, Yemen, and Indonesia as a means by which to sexually exploit
migrant workers. Females as young as seven years old are led to believe they
are being wed in earnest, but upon arrival in Saudi Arabia subsequently
become their husbands’ sexual slaves, are forced into domestic labor and, in
some cases, prostitution. - U.S.

September 2011] American women who
have married Saudi nationals and are inside the kingdom along with their
female children – some of whom have now reached adult age – are subjected to
a situation in which another person or persons have complete control over
their lives, with all rights and attributes of "ownership." They
were forcibly abducted or kidnapped in clear violation of the laws of other
countries and court orders issued by other countries. They were removed from
their country to a country beyond the reach of law enforcement and court
orders. These women – which
include my adult, American-born daughters – have been hidden away in family
compounds for years, deprived of all the choices of basic living, including
religion, choice of spouse or age of marriage. They have been denied freedom
of movement, freedom of torture, equal rights of women relating to all issues
of family rights, the right to education, the right to remedies. Many of them
are subjected to wide abuse other than slavery – mental and physical torture,
including rape. Their basic human rights in the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights and other instruments of international human rights law are
being sacrificed. They are kept
captive with no hope of ever escaping. Some are told that they can leave, but
their children must stay. They must choose between freedom and their children
– a "Sophie's Choice" no mother should ever have to make. I have
met women who have done just that, and others who
hunger for the breath of freedom so badly that they are contemplating doing
it – such a high price to pay. Saudis Import

ENJOY EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND FREEDOM FROM ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION? A number of
amendments to the labor law that went into effect in 2015 granted broader
rights and protections to workers in the private sector. However, the law
does not apply to household workers, who are governed by separate regulations
that provide fewer safeguards against exploitative working conditions. Foreign workers—who
make up more than half of the active labor force—enjoy only limited legal
protections and remain vulnerable to trafficking and forced labor, primarily
through employers’ exploitation of the kafala
visa-sponsorship system. In 2014, the Ministry of Labor ruled that expatriate
workers who are not paid their salaries for more than three consecutive
months are free to switch their work sponsors without approval. In practice,
foreign workers are subject to periodic mass deportations for visa violations
or criminal activity, though due process is often lacking in such cases.

certain percentages of Saudi citizens and penalize those that fail to meet

2020] INDENTURED SERVITUDE - A key plank in
the Gulf’s foreign labor apparatus is called the kafala,
or “sponsorship,” system. The system entails
middlemen who travel to Southeast Asia and sell the right to work in the Gulf
to prospective migrants. Once in debt to the middlemen, who “sponsor” the
workers’ right to travel to the Gulf, the laborers are expected to pay off
their debt to the sponsor by working long hours—often in the construction
industry, where workers labor away in temperatures that can rise above 50
degrees Celsius, or 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Yet because
permission from their sponsor is required to seek a new employer, foreign
laborers are often trapped in their jobs. This ensures that their paltry
wages are used to pay off the debt incurred by their travel. Without
citizenship or any political rights, and unable to exit the country—their
passports are frequently seized by authorities upon arrival—these foreign
workers are trapped in what can only be described as virtual slavery or
indentured servitude. Foreign women
employed as domestic workers for the GCC’s wealthy residents are particularly
vulnerable to exploitation. Secluded in private homes and typically denied
the right to leave, they’re often trapped with employers who withhold pay and
subject them to appalling episodes of physical assault and sexual violence. Saudis address

December 2010] "Examining the
American report on human trafficking, we felt that it was misleading ... It
contains descriptions, opinions and understandings that are not necessarily
true," Turky Al Sudairy,
head of the government's Human Rights Commission said in a statement
published in Saudi newspapers. "While we
accept that there are some who mistreat (domestic) workers, and this is not
acceptable, there are laws that stipulate punishment and the Commission will
not hesitate to reveal practices and violations." Around a third of Saudi Arabia's 24 million
population are foreign residents, mostly blue-collar workers from Asian
countries. Over a million work as housemaids, and reports of abuse are
common. Saudi employers often retain their passports. Sudairy said the
authorities had taken stringent measures to regulate the labor market, which
he said was subject to abuse by recruitment agencies. He said Saudi Arabia
has laws to prevent child labor.
"The efforts being exerted have not finished yet and we cannot
claim such a thing," Sudairy said. New study shames

December 2010] Muslims, in contrast, still think the old way. Slavery still exists in a host of majority-Muslim countries (especially Sudan and Mauritania, also Saudi Arabia and Pakistan) and it is a taboo subject. To enable pious Muslims to avoid interest, an Islamic financial industry worth an estimated $150 billion has developed. The challenge ahead is clear: Muslims must emulate their fellow monotheists by modernizing their religion with regard to slavery, interest and much else. No more fighting jihad to impose Muslim rule. No more endorsement of suicide terrorism. No more second-class citizenship for non-Muslims. Slavery in Saudi

2020] When 29-year-old Ramani Prianka accepted a job
in Saudi Arabia, she thought it would be a pleasant way to earn more money
than she could ever make in her native Sri Lanka. After all, she would be working indoors --
as a housemaid -- for a well-to-do, educated Saudi couple. He was the manager
of a big hospital; she was the principal of a school. How tough could it
be? Very tough, Prianka quickly discovered. The
house had 20 rooms and 13 bathrooms, and Prianka,
the only maid, was expected to clean every one every day. There were nine
children, and Prianka had to wash all their clothes
and cook all their food. Seven days a week, she was up at 4:30 a.m. and never
got to bed before midnight. All this for the equivalent of $26 a week. Last year, at least
2,800 Sri Lankan housemaids ran away from their Saudi sponsors, claiming they
had been overworked, sexually abused or physically mistreated by jealous
wives. They are among the countless foreign "guest workers" in
Saudi Arabia who live and work under conditions that are sometimes compared
to modern-day slavery. Held Against Their

concern that many Saudis may treat their Indonesian servants as slaves and
sexually harass them. Many Indonesian
women who have worked abroad come home with horror stories of being raped and
badly treated by their foreign bosses. But according to
Wahid, the Indonesian media often makes inaccurate reports on what goes on in
Saudi Arabia. "The media’s
descriptions created a public perception that our women workers were raped.
The situation is not like that. The Saudi people still believe in the old
Islamic teaching, which is belief in slavery. So a woman who works for them
is considered a slave," he said.
For some men in Saudi Arabia, sexual relations with a housemaid are
not considered as rape, because they believe that such a practice is
permitted by their beliefs, he added. Wahid also stressed
the Saudi government does not believe in slavery, but the practice is still
common in society. Saudi Arabia:Open for Business Amnesty

family palace domestic slaves who have been assigned to care for child sex
slaves primarily kidnapped from the US and Northern Europe. It seems
procedurally after being routinely processed by the Saudi Arabian Government
upon entry the children are immediately brought to the respective palace
where they are indoctrinated through a brainwashing practice. The suborning
technique through a system of rewards and punishments includes US child sex
slaves being given a Saudi name while their US name and religious beliefs are
expunged from their mind. If the children use their US name or religious
beliefs at any time thereafter, they are severely reprimanded with further
conditioning. In tandem, the US State Department policy is that it refuses to
investigate US child sex slaves within Middle East unless they are given the
US name of the child. -

two Egyptian servants of Saudi Prince Turki bin Abd al-Aziz tied bedsheets together and lowered
themselves from the rooms on the 29th floor of the Ramses Hilton where they
had been imprisoned, unpaid, for months. The Prince, a full brother of King
Fahd, has lived for 16 years on two floors of the five-star Cairo hotel since
his expulsion from Saudi Arabia for "embarrassing behavior." The
two servants, a butler and a cook, who were seriously injured when they
crashed onto a 24th floor balcony, made familiar claims. They had been
beaten, they had not been paid in months, and they had been held against
their will along with many other servants who were still trapped inside. That
these abuses were taking place outside Saudi Arabia was somewhat unusual.
Although less publicized, similar occurrences are more common inside Saudi

on trafficking issues, although it did name an official in the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs to assume responsibility for trafficking in persons. Foreign laborers',
including domestic workers', passports were often illegally retained by their
employers and can sometimes result in forced labor. Foreign nationals who
have been recruited abroad have, after their arrival in the country, been
