UAE: Migrant Worker Abuses Linked to Broader Climate Harms

Migrant workers in the United Arab Emirates are exposed to escalating climate risks, especially working in extreme heat without adequate protections, which can cause chronic harms to their health, Human Rights Watch said today. Additionally, migrant workers face other widespread labor abuses like wage theft and exorbitant recruitment fees that have restricted their abilities to support their families back home, including during extreme weather events often linked to climate change. These abuses are occurring in the context of the climate crisis where the UAE is one of the world’s largest oil producers and among the highest per capita emitters of greenhouse gases, along with historic emitters.

Sadly it's a common thing is these Arab states, huge rich leaders using forced and slave labour with tremendous human rights violations but everyone turns blind eye cause of the wealth

When we awake to realise that we are all we have and are..then all the Spirituality goes aside and we see we are very vulnerable Humans relying on a fragile web of cooperation. Each person counts.

We are all affected/ sufferers just because of limited resources to survive. Human trafficking is also just because of this reason.
This century is facing population pressure whereas wealthy nations are using them in work force.

Is it climate change or is it being in a desert?
