  1. The top most corrupt agency/organisation in the world….. don't destroy African countries, so they don't need to travel Middle East or Europe…… simple

  2. Shame on them so called muslims
    They are muslim in public but dajjal in private they are doing corruption and inhuman behaviour against humanity just like the zioniste and Pharaoh Allah will judge them for their crimes for their arrogance for their ugly behavior and for their crime and wrongdoing insha Allah

  3. Oh yes btw did this video mention that Oman has been trying to stop this from September to November I was getting spammed with anti human trafficking messages informing it’s a crime from the NCCHT ik it’s a thing but this video is acting like it’s a normal thing stupid propaganda Oman has Zanzibaris from Tanzania everywhere look at zanzibar culture and you will see how close it is to Omani culture so many Sudanese too racism is a dumb argument BBC stupid propaganda oman also has sites anti trafficking now England has human trafficking go report that

  4. Its very rare for Zambians t9 go to such countries we dont tolerate nonsense I suggest african Countries close Embassies with these countries. On Zambia just for you to get clearerance to work in a foreign country you have to pay huge sum of money including the employer also the paper work is something else. I dont think I would work or stay in arab countries

  5. This video needs to be seen by all those people that before considering leaving their countries those Arab countries hate women so they treat yuo like an animal

  6. What makes this business so fake…is that after the contractor getting his money,he or she does not follow up on these young beautiful ladies who have left their beautiful families behind .They are only after money and getting ladies for the Arab cruel people.

  7. OMG!!! Thanks for the documentary and for helping out those ladies.Arab countries are the worst for work related issues;they need people.to help them.but they us/Africans like animals….that is so cruel of them. There is really a reason why peope leave theie countries for greener pastures.But my fellow Africans/ladies,stay in your countries,enjoy the little that you have and above all,have peace in your heart and mind. Our parents get excited when we leave for those Arab countries but what awaits us,our parents keep praying. NO ONE DESERVES SUCH CRUEL TREATMENT……let the Arabs work for themselves then.

  8. The solution is to hold our governments responsible and accountable to the people. This story begins with the mismanagement of our own economies that spurs people into emigrating to " greener pastures" where they discover that the grass is greenest over the sewage. The African Union must wake up to Arab slavery and torture, that has been going on for some time now. It was the Arabs who enslaved us before the white man did anyway. This must stop or there will be war.

  9. The most racist European countries are 1000 times better than the any Arab Muslim country. However these women end up here because they are chasing a better life and unscrupulous black people convince them Oman is better. In other words they pay a become slaves. This is similar to what happens to millions of African Americans during slavery. Please talk about how they end up in Oman. Africans are leaving their country chasing $$. Sometimes grass is not greener on the other side. Meanwhile in South Africa the blacks there are fighting to protect Arabs in Gaza. Maybe Israel has the right Idea? These Arab countries have medieval social and political societies. Woman are property.

  10. African leaders need to step up. Our countries are being invaded by foreigners who are trafficking our people abroad & also taking advantage of them inside their own country like the in video “racism for sale” by bbc. This is borderline evil and insane

  11. I'm extremely gutted to see that such is still going on in these age. What is the United Nations doing about this? This is extreme dehumanisation which the UN claimed they are up against. What position is the AU taking regarding this happenings? African countries must fight this scourge. Start by criminalising those agencies and then stop these girls at the airport b4 exiting. All hands must be on deck to end this.

  12. Sometimes I wonder if the ladies love these sufferings bcos how would some of them hear the stories of others, yet board planes to go to Oman? And the Malawian government have to do something for the survivors. They have to help these ladies with therapy and money.

  13. 90% of those people are monsters and the bad thing our governments are not concerned and don't care our turned into a living hell and then hardships forcing us to go to middle eastern countries which is another grave these people are devils our sisters are dying in pain and no one seems to care in our so called governments

  14. This is shocking but always remember never ever work for any Middle East Arabs my heart breaks when I see this abuse it’s time we expose these rotten employers love to all my sisters and be strong we will win VIVA TANZANIA.

  15. Please rethink if your are choosing to go the middle east for work as a domestic helper. You can be held captive and forced to work as a slave. This is Oman but similar human rights violations have happened in Lebanon. A Nepali woman was kept as a slave by a family for 20 years in Lebanon. She was recently rescued. Please stay safe ladies 🙏

  16. Africans we like quick wealth , but soon or later we shall learn to grow our continent to solve or problems if not the easy way then it will be the hard way , either way we will. I personally I don't empathize with anyone leaving Africa to the middle east those people have no reason to treat you as a human they have both policy and religious backing, to them you're choice less slaves

  17. Good evening my dear brothers and sisters .
    In Oman we have three kinds of them . Native Omani , Suhaili Omani originaly from Zanzibar and Balushi Omani from Pakistan .

    Whatever happens to the victims don't just blame the entire Omanis because the native Omanis are really kind and respectful .

    Most of the abusers speak the same language of the victims .
    Therefore, it's between Africans who are Omani Citizen and africans domestic helpers .
    Morever , Rita the agent has to be held accountable too .

    May Allah protect all the domestic helpers.

  18. You journalists blurred the faces of oppressors and abusers and expose the faces of victims. Is that not racism. Abusers need not to be concealed, expose them

  19. Praising god while they commit crimes. Disgusting people. African government is also to blame, they should put in place laws to ensure no citizen goes out to these countries to work as a maid. Why not setup a form for anyone traveling to the gulf, they must ask several questions before allowing their citizens to travel, who is receiving you there, who is sending you there, why you want to go there, etc
