Topic: Is slavery still present at this time in the Middle East? (Read 231 times)
Actually, forced taxation is a form of slavery.
There are many modern slaves in the Middle East.
Its not only in Middle East its exist in Africa and some other parts of world as well but we can say in this area its too much because middle east governments also involve in this too much for sack of their own and mostly peoples in high stakes doing this without any problem in subcontinent is also exist but not widely but many landlords involve with the help of ruling peoples of country
I think to some extent it happens everywhere

She left her family in order to provide for the family even though it is against her will to be away from them and now this happens. I mean, what happened to her was really really terrible, her boss put her body in the fridge after she died and for one long year, her body stayed there. What do you think about these guys? I am really sad right now, I know how hard it is to work in a foreign country. Here's a link:

Not just in the middle east but all over the world. Slavery is still rampant and since there are alot of people on this earth making the supply for skilled workers is actually at a surplus, people become expendable since there are always people that will take their place. With that in mind, people often take a dirt cheap salary and take abuse from their "masters" because being unemployed is out of the question. it's sad that people still go through this ordeal.

Hi! I want to talk about the situation in the middle east too, many women and children are killed in battle
. Many people are uncomfortable worshiping, even to sleep they are always in tense situations So what should we do as a form of humanity to lighten their burdens and make them feel safe and free?? 
Every year the number of violence and deaths of Female Workers in Saudi Arabia increases. The case of death of migrant workers is the most in Saudi Arabia. The condition of foreign workers in Saudi Arabia resembles slavery and is currently increasing.
It surprises me that people still want to go to nations such as Saudi Arabia, which treats non-Arabs like animals. Somewhere I read that more than 99% of the maids who work there get raped regularly by the employers. The condition of the male workers are no better either. And the salaries are also quite low in that country (if they are paid on time).

Slavery still exists in most remote parts of the world.Just recently, there was a documentary on CNN that showed people still trading slaves in Libya. Slavery still exists, just that it is not prominent as it used to be.

slavery is buying a person to please or make slave, i think the term used is not appropriate. she submit herself as an employee and her employer maltreated her. her employer have a criminal mind. do not use slavery in middle east collectively.
Its very sad to hear that, and still its happening now. Maids are human too that needs respect for their job. They have family being left behind from their home country. They did not go to middle east to be treated that way. I hope those country should be fair to expats and people working in their Kingdom, this is a clear violations of basic human rights. Its unfair.
Just wait until these desert nations run out of their petro-dollars. Saudi Arabia is already facing trouble due to the rising unemployment rates. The population is growing at a rate of 3% per year and the government doesn't have enough money to keep everyone happy. May be after 20-30 years, we will see Saudi maids working in the Philippines and Nepal.
Middle East may look like modern society on the outside, but that fails to hide the horrors which are present. I know the story of one of my friends who went to Saudi Arabia. He was promised the job of a pumber, but he ended up in a goat farm. His passport and documents were taken away and he was not allowed to contact home. He was kept in slave-like conditions without any salary or adequate food. He managed to escape after four years of torture, but he told me that there were so many like him in the farms and most of them die there without the knowledge of anyone back home.
I do not agree with you. Most of the middle eastern countries are not modern because of their islamic beliefs . On the other hand, as you have mentioned above , slavery is still happening in those lands. This situation is pretty horrible.

What you said is often happens in south eastern Europe (Russia). I know a lot of stories about people been abused same way as you said, but they mostly work at bricks handicraft factories which situated in hidden places. Just resently saudi women was allowed to drive a car (just several months ago), can you imagine that? So I am not surprised that slavery exists there. I also consider PDRK as slavery labour camp. A lot of slaves live at our Earth, no doubt
@Sithara that is also very common news from my countrymen. Some maids would even get killed or disabled as they attempt to escape. There was one who jumped off an apartment building. And not to mention the ever present risk of sexual assault. Even being male is no protection. Like I said the current system perpetuates this. Had it been in Europe those employers would have already been sent to jail. But then again, we know dhimmmis don't have the same rights as Muslims. And among Muslims, non-Arabs are less than Arabs.
@Palmholder There are actually reports of DPKR "loaning" away those "workers" to Russia and some African countries. If that don't count as slavery, I don't know what else will.
It's true. I have spoken to some maids who worked in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. They told me that 99% of the maids are raped by their Arab employers on a regular basis, and the Arab females don't have any sympathy for these maids. For the Arabs, any non-Arab is a sub-human.

Sad to say that even the present time slavery is still existing. Those slaves are working against their will with no pay. And sometimes slaves are killed.

Yes,still is, different forms of slavery still exists today, anything that is against your will is an example of slavery. Being told on what to say and what to do. Unfortunately,this mentality to enslave people is a human trait passed down by our ancestors. An act came from royal families. I think it naturally flows from our veins. The behavior to be served by others, even owning a pet or an animal can be considered as slavery. Is slavery present at this time? Of course yes. Not only in the middle east but everywhere. We are all a slave. A Slave of time,our everyday needs,because of poverty and because other people enslave us too. We enslave others too. Either an animal or people. This is an endless cycle. And that is the truth. The sad part is that people have to die because of slavery,made by people that disregards human importance and lack of empathy to others. This has been going on for almost a thousand years. Crusade,exploration and voyages to discover new lands,invasions of cultures,properties,countries and cities. Territorial expansions.
The results were the same. People died because they refused to be a slave.
It is sad to say that yes slavery still present in middle east mostly household workers or maids .unfair treatment abuse and violence this are the experience they usually facing.but to be fair many people also benefited from the richest of the country.
Oh my! Why such things still happen at all???
slavery. in the history it is making one person serve you, he like it or not. and if he will not obey or follow you, you have the right to punish him. i dont think slavery is still present in our world today because there is a social media now. everyone who caught in the act while doing something violence will be punish by law. some countries do not want violence and slavery. and in the middle east i dont think if slavery is still present there but as far as i know they do not practicing it.
