Racism, Discrimination & Gender

Abuse of migrant workers, especially female domestic workers, is rampant across the Gulf countries. Most of these cases are ‘resolved’ by paying a nominal settlement and repatriating the victim.

In the concluding instalment of the Stories of Origin series from Uganda, MRRORS.org speaks to those who facilitate migration and those who deal with the consequences of irregular migration. In the first part, we spoke to Ugandans scarred by their experiences in the Gulf and those who have made a success of it, despite the hardships.
