A television investigation has exposed the spread of human and sex trafficking in the UAE, reinforcing a series of international reports that have already confirmed the corruption of the Abu Dhabi regime.
The investigation, broadcast by the Greek channel Vouli, revealed the growing phenomenon of human trafficking, sex and forced prostitution in the Middle East, especially in the UAE, which promotes itself as one of the most developed countries. The investigation confirms that the UAE is witnessing many human rights violations, especially trafficking in women seeking jobs in the service sector, pointing out that many of the bodies exploit women working in massage parlors in the UAE sexually.
He points out that the UAE has often been accused of promoting trafficking and sexual abuse of so-called expatriates since , where a number of sexual convictions have been registered. Trafficking in human beings is a process of exploitation of human beings by threat or extortion, and exploitation of the circumstances of the targeted person; with a view to profiting from it, prostitution, forced labor or organ transplants, which are classified as crimes of human rights violations by United Nations organizations and bodies.
A previous annual report by the US State Department categorized the UAE and Bahrain as one of the countries with the highest prevalence of human trafficking. The scandals and abuses of the UAE do not end with the dictatorship it practices against its citizens, and the torture and imprisonment of dissidents on its soil. On the other hand, the UAE finds its doors open to alcohol, prostitution and human trafficking under the protection and care of officials and rulers. Although the volume of prostitution in the UAE, especially Dubai, has been kept quiet, a few years ago it is estimated that some 45, girls are sex workers in Dubai alone.
It is reported that girls enter the country on a visit visa, then turn into a work visa, then work in prostitution and find those who secure their presence inside the country and live, raising questions about who supports the profitable trade of the country and its workers.
