Sex trafficking in UAE
The United Arab Emirates is busy touting itself as a model of human and social development, and in the process deceiving the international community, even the normally forensic United Nations (UNDP, 2018).
This is in addition to the UAEs established status as a regional economic hub, as demonstrated by its absorption of Western expatriate workforce (BBC, December 18, 2018). But just as the UAEs economic development is founded mostly on the exploitation of cheap labour from the Indian sub-continent (The News Minute, November 25, 2017), there is also a darker side to the Emirates quest to develop human and social capital. The Emirates is a well-established hub for regional prostitution with credible reports that up to 30,000 hookers are operating in Dubai alone (The Sun, January 27, 2015).
