![]() ![]() Human rights organizations continue to tell us stories of confiscated passports leading to full control over these men: forced to work too many hours without respecting any safety regulations, forced to live in dilapidated homes, forced to suffer psychological, physical and sexual humiliation. The situation is more or less the same in all the Gulf countries. These men are practically reduced to slavery: abused and forced to work in risky conditions for salaries that sometimes do not even reach 100 euros a month – and some of them do not even see the shadow of a penny. The working conditions for the six million Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, Egyptian and, Filipino workers who populate the country, are simply horrible. The dangling body of the young Filipino -who we’ll be calling Jan – in the bathroom of a Dubai company, in the district of Muhaisnah which is inhabited by South Asian workers, ultimately adds up to many other corpses, getting mixed up in an indistinct decomposing meat pulp that leaves the world indifferent.
