Glitter and Slavery

Vassilios Grammatikas
The development of "Emirates" "Etihad" and other airlines has rendered the UAE as one of the most important air connection hubs around the world, while the quality of services sets the standards for modern commercial aviation. Urban development projects like luxurious hotels, casinos, residential areas which offer ultra rich, rich and less rich people from all around the world endless opportunities for entertainment, shopping and tourism. However, behind the bright lights, there is a dark side of UAE that cannot be ignored: its treatment of migrant workers and its link to human trafficking. This work aims to uncover the darker side of the UAE, exposing the various degrees and levels of exploitation of migrant workers, usually from Asia and Africa that comprise most of the UAE's labour force, who are being denied basic liberties.
