Human rights violations against East African migrant workers in the Gulf States have prompted growing concern. Human Rights Watch recently reported a tragic incident where hundreds of Ethiopians lost their lives while attempting to cross the border into Saudi Arabia. The pervasive Kafala system, binding workers to their employers, further exacerbates the challenges faced by migrant workers in the region.
In this panel discussion, our primary goal is to illuminate the gravity of human rights violations faced by migrant workers from East African nations in the Gulf States. This specific group has endured prolonged mistreatment in the region. The advent of social media and increased awareness has empowered these migrant workers to share their harrowing experiences by posting pictures and videos depicting their difficult conditions in the Gulf States. Join us as we explore these critical issues, delving into the challenges faced by East African migrant workers in the Gulf States and how they can be resolved.
