Harsh Realities of the Arabian Gulf
The report from 2016 delves into the harsh realities of prostitution in the Arabian Gulf, with a particular focus on the UAE. It unveils the distressing nature of human trafficking, primarily targeting women who are coerced into a life of prostitution. These traffickers employ cunning tactics, enticing victims with false promises of legitimate positions like secretaries, masseuses, or domestic workers. What makes this situation even more distressing is the involvement of fellow countrymen and women who play a role in trafficking these individuals.
They leverage their trustworthiness and often share deceptive tales of prosperous lives in the UAE, ultimately ensnaring these women into the dark world of prostitution rings. Furthermore, the ADHRB report highlights an alarming aspect of this issue where some domestic workers, desperate to escape abusive employers, become vulnerable to trafficking. This adds another layer of complexity to an already troubling phenomenon. The report serves as a stark reminder of the pervasive nature of human trafficking in the region and calls for increased awareness and efforts to combat this grave violation of human rights.
