“near-slavery” is not slavery, neither is it worse than the places many of these workers come from.

You mean being treated like a slave, beaten sometimes raped, have their password taken away etc. is not so bad because, hey they still get paid, so not real slavery? (and no that is not the same same conditions as in the Philippines, Pakistan or Bangladesh)

> beaten sometimes raped

You go to prison for this in Dubai.

> have their password taken away

I suppose you mean “passport”. This is also illegal, government has been cracking down on this for years. The MOHRE hotline for these issues is advertised everywhere, it only takes a quick call and the police will come recover your passport.

But yeah, I guess it’s pointless to try and have a conversation with someone engaging as dishonestly as you.

I obviously don’t mean that violence or rape are okay, and it’s really shitty of you to suggest that. What next? Will you accuse me of molesting children too?
