Description
A recent study produced by the National Domestic Workers Movement (NDWM) and Migrant Forum in Asia evidenced a spade of violations against GCC migrant workers originating from the Tamil Nedu region. Migrant Forum in Asia’s Migrant Rights Violations Reporting System (MRVRS) provided documentation for the study, finding the highest number violations occurred in the United Arab Emirates; in the past three years, 446 migrant workers from the Tamil Nadu region alone experienced some form of abuse in the UAE. The study also found increasing violations against Tamil workers in Kuwait. Overall, the highest number of violations against Tamil Nedu workers occurred in the Middle East; 251 cases of violations were documented in Qatar, 70 in Saudi Arabia, 64 in Oman, 71 in Kuwait, 51 in Jordan, 47 in Iran, and 28 in Iraq. In the East Asian region, Malaysia tallied the highest number of violations against Tamil migrants. Most violations occurred against low-wage workers such as domestic workers, construction workers, factory workers, and manual laborers.
