How a Malawi WhatsApp helped save women trafficked to Oman | BBC News
A WhatsApp group helped save more than 50 Malawian women trafficked to Oman to work in slave-like conditions.
It is estimated there are around two million female domestic workers in the Gulf Arab states.
BBC Africa Eye has followed a group of women who, working across three continents, have fought to bring the women home, often against…

HELP – How can a person join this whatsapp group?
As long as you don't look like them in the middle east, they will mistreat you. We've all heard the stories, Malawians, Filipinos, Bangladeshis, Kenyans, Nepalese, Sri Lankans, Sudanese etc all have these stories of human trafficking in the middle east. And its not just women working in the domestic sector! Its also men working in construction. Look what happened during the world cup in Qatar.
These ar@bs aren't human !
The same things are happening in the UAE! I witnessed slavery in action in Dubai!
Upon their arrival in the UAE, migrant workers are thrust into an insidious web of control and exploitation, stripped of their autonomy and agency. This manipulation is epitomized by the confiscation of their passports, an act that transforms their hopes for a better life into a nightmare of entrapment. As these individuals step foot on Emirati soil, their passports are often seized, effectively imprisoning them within a system where they are beholden to their employers. This further entrenches their vulnerability, rendering them powerless to assert their rights or escape abusive situations.
Where are black muslims ?
You see?
Shame on you and your islam.

File under: Disgrace
Slavery in Oman was formally abolished as late as 1970. I know people who were born as slaves. In practise it never went away. If you look at the paperwork, in English it says ‘sponsor’ but in Arabic it says ‘arbab’ meaning owner or master.
When there is a complaint, the workers are being punished but the employers go free. Vicious cycle continues to date. However, this is not only Oman. How many more people died building football stadiums in Qatar and skyscrapers in UAE. Every year expat women ‘fall’ from balcony. Think about that the next time you live your best life in Dubai.
I confronted some Qataris about this and I was accused of lying. My conclusion is that they either don’t know or simply don’t care. Kuwait has the worst reputation among workers with Saudi Arabia second.
Edit: At some point it got so bad that Nepal stopped sending domestic workers. That was later reversed because the money is good. Justification on the street level is “they choose to come.” My reply is “with this logic, do not travel.”
Surprise Surprise. Arabs
Spreading fake news to develop hatred
USA 🇺🇸 strategy
africans put their lifes in the hands of others bcouse africans can not fight off their corrupt leaders and the uneducated that wants to be a leader and form an goverments full of unedicated people from his tribe or close friends and familis. africa is its own problem and this is the result that you give awey yourselfs to other people but you never stick to eachother. you fight eachother over foolish thinks like tribe names. you not building a villiage for your tribe but a country for fellow african people, YOUR PEOPLE. what did tribe ever do, you dont even know most of them 😂, what dont africans understand.
Meanwhile ….the uk government continues to do big business with oman and other fellow despotic regimes .
this shiit happens widely in the middle east.

Dears don't generalize this comment. This is a private issue .
The American rapping case is higher than case's in Oman
I hate the Boss
Slavery of black women is on the rise. It's shocking to see this is being perpetrated by our black nations.
I'm appalled that in the 21st century, this continues to be overlooked as black on black, so no one cares 😢
How do we stop this. Why do we continue to be seen and treated as other people possessions to do with as they please, and you tell me there's a God.
Wake up and realise that God has been sold to us to accept their treatment as his will.
I'm so angry, mad, and upset, I don't know what to do.
The pain and humiliation these poor girls have to endure are unbelievable.
Very powerful!
That sucks, too bad they could not do anything about it. It must suck being in a Muslim country like Oman or Britain. Hopefully one day Islam will be no more.
This is 21st century if you can't understand going to Arab countries I don't know when you will .. it's you African yelling free Palestine every where but do they care for you..
BBC doing real bad journalism, my heart for the women going through this. A video that doesn’t really help these powerless people. I really would’ve hoped if the BBC have showed the truth about modern slavery & how the home governments of these workers & agencies from there home towns are the only beneficiaries of this. As a Omani living here in Oman, the Omani Government has been doing a-lot to tackle this. Other than the change in laws & legislation I have been actively seeing the past few years multilingual ads campaigns, hotlines & more. The home countries of these workers are the ones requesting thousands of USD to all there citizens to gain a living outside & are the ones benefiting from remittances circulating in their countries. I am not saying there isn’t more that Oman should do, everyone should do more! The BBC’s report doesn’t really help because it doesn’t really present the facts of who is really benefiting or enabling this to begin with as it was prepared with the intention to spoil the image of Oman & we all know why this has came out now!
Crying. Human trafficking is a terrible thing. The people who do this are monsters
African government are too blame for making life hard for its people forcing them to look for life elsewhere
Glad to hear they are safe but think of the kids trafficked into america that western media never tell u about

Free Free Women Minds and Bodies Must be Free for Slavery Butchery by Islamic Muslim Arab Religious Persecutors Thirty-seven percent of Arab women are reported to have experienced some form of violence in their lifetime, though sources indicate that the true percentage is actually higher. Two practices that fall under the broad and ugly umbrella of gender-based violence and control are female genital mutilation (FGM) and child and forced marriage (CFM), which together affect tens of millions of Women 1:33
Earth Misery all part of 1% elite banking plan…..
you mean paid to the traffickers!
Think of all the people who have not been saved there. This practice is quite common in that part of the world.
This is the real story of slavery, why aren’t people out in the streets talking about this, rather than putting the west down. It’s common across the Middle East not just oman, just as bad for men in construction industry.
