Just making this country unbearable for poor masses

EgunMogaji2:
One red cent of mine will never fall in the palms of a beggar. Giving encourages begging.

1) I donate to charity.

2) I give tips to genuine hustlers. Northerner that was hawking weaved basket. After negotiating to N500, I paid him N750

Poor guy was carrying all that load around town in the hot sun.

Operation Epervier II sees hundreds rescued from human traffickers

LYON, France – Almost 220 victims of human trafficking have been rescued by police in Benin and Nigeria in an operation coordinated by INTERPOL.

Many of the 157 rescued minors were moved around as ‘merchandise’ themselves across the border, and made to work in markets all day, peddling goods, fetching water, cooking, carrying heavy loads, or working as housemaids.

Victims tend to…

Avoid eye contact
Lack health care and appear malnourished
Are not allowed or able to speak for themselves

Exhibit signs of physical and psychological trauma e.g. anxiety, lack of memory of recent events, bruising, untreated conditions

Over half of the world’s slaves are in India, which is roughly 15 million men, women and children in bondage in the world’s largest democracy, and less than two in five human trafficking cases end in conviction. In neighboring Pakistan, there is no meaningful legislation on human trafficking

At least 300,000 children across India are drugged, beaten and forced to beg every day, in what has become a multimillion-rupee industry controlled by human trafficking cartels

Children are sometimes maimed or burned to elicit greater sympathy and get more alms, said the report

The 10 countries with the largest estimated absolute numbers of people in modern slavery include some of the world’s most populous.30 Collectively, these 10 countries – India, China, Pakistan, North Korea, Nigeria, Iran, Indonesia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Russia, and the Philippines

when our assessment of government responses is correlated against GDP (PPP) per capita, we find that some highly developed, high-income countries have taken limited action to respond to modern slavery. Countries including Qatar, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have taken limited action despite high levels of resources

Four in Taichung indicted for exploitation of migrant workers

Taichung, Jan. 28 (CNA) Four people involved in a labor brokerage firm in Taichung have been indicted for exploitation of migrant workers through wage manipulation, prosecutors said Thursday.

The brokers also used other forms of exploitation by bringing migrant workers into Taiwan using "shell" manufacturing companies and illegally dispatching them to work at construction sites, prosecutors said.

Israeli sex tourists aggravate UAE's human trafficking ordeal
The main victims of human trafficking hail from India, Pakistan, China, and Bangladesh
Most migrants are compelled to sign employment contracts in a language they’re unable to read and thus agreeing to conditions and wages far lower than they had been promised
Traffickers employ many tactics to force women to work, often locking the victims in small rooms without food or water and subjecting them to physical and verbal abuse

Dubai sex trafficking victims relate tales of duplicity and horror
Victims were forced into prostitution after going to Dubai with dreams of luxurious life and high salary

The victims claimed that the trafficking ring had connections with the passport office and airport immigration.

That is why we see human traffickers sending people to Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Bahrain.

These victims came from lower or lower middle class families and couldn’t have shown a bank statement to get visas for Dubai.

Visiting Dubai Is Like Standing on the Sidelines of a Gang Rape
Dubai is one of the toughest, most well-known centers of modern slavery and human trafficking. Beneath the glittering facade of a paradise in the desert lurks a cruel and lethal system of recruitment, transportation, transfer, kidnaping and defrauding of human beings – mostly women – by means of the threat of force, or the actual use of force, as well as other types of coercion. The purpose of the system is exploitation for the purpose of prostitution, other types of sexual exploitation, forced labor or employment in conditions of slavery.

In the United Arab Emirates there are over 8 million work migrants, constituting over 95 percent of the country’s private work force. They work for a very low wage in construction, or as servants. Most of these workers are victims of human trafficking or forced labor.

Outwardly, the governments of the UAE cluck their tongues and occasionally expel a p1mp who is caught, but in fact traffickers in women work under protection of the government, which sells itself as a consumers’ paradise, where human beings are also a consumer good.

Dubai’s Role in Facilitating Corruption and Global Illicit Financial Flows
part of what underpins Dubai’s prosperity is a steady stream of illicit proceeds borne from corruption and crime. The wealth has helped to fuel the emirate’s booming real estate market; enrich its bankers, moneychangers, and business elites; and turn Dubai into a major gold trading hub. Meanwhile, both Emirati leaders and the international community continue to turn a blind eye to the problematic behaviors, administrative loopholes, and weak enforcement practices that make Dubai a globally attractive destination for dirty money.

The UAE’s Kafala System: Harmless or Human Trafficking?
Labor migration to the UAE is regulated by a private sponsorship system known as kafala, which has existed in the Gulf Cooperation Council states and other Middle Eastern countries for decades. The laws and procedures of the kafala system vary from state to state.

Migrant workers who are trafficked into forced labor are typically recruited by agents who charge high recruitment fees in exchange for secure work permits and employment in the UAE.
Migrant workers who are trafficked into forced labor are typically recruited by agents who charge high recruitment fees in exchange for secure work permits and employment in the UAE. However, once in the UAE, victims are made to sign contracts they often do not understand and that include conditions different from what they were promised. They are then forced to work long hours in cramped labor camps. Wages are low, payments are made infrequently, and living and sanitary conditions are poor. The workers inevitably fall into situations of debt bondage and find themselves compelled to accept the terms and conditions imposed on them. This is particularly common among construction, domestic, and lower-level service workers.8

30 US congressmen call for urgent action on UAE and Middle East Human Trafficking

London, UK, Dec. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Washington, London - On Human Rights Day, thirty members of the U.S. House of Representatives signed a “dear colleague” letter to the U.S. government calling for an end to human trafficking and labor exploitation in the Gulf region of the Middle East. Representative Raúl Grijalva, who serves as Vice Chair in the International Workers’ Rights Caucus, led the effort. “I led my colleagues in a letter urging Sec. Pompeo to urge the Gulf States to uphold human rights for migrant workers and abolish the discriminatory Kafala System,” he tweeted.

Sinister ASEAN: Trading in human organs

A week ago, Malaysians were shocked with news of the gruesome death of 11-year old Cambodian girl Siti Masyitah Ibrahim. The girl had been missing since 30 January, and her body was found a mere three kilometres away from her home. Her hands had been tied behind her back, she had been decapitated, and – perhaps most sinister of all - some of her internal organs had been removed.

The ASEAN Post would like to make it clear from the beginning of this article that Malaysian police have denied any elements of organ harvesting and have stated that there was, instead, a possibility that the body's condition was caused by wild animals and possibly exposure. The police also suspect revenge as a possible motive for the child’s murder.

China, Japan, Malaysia, and Thailand are destinations from neighboring countries. Within Southeast Asia, Thailand is the leading destination for trafficking
