About

This website aims to raise awareness on the plight of migrant/expatriate workers in the Middle East.

Despite the fact that we thrive on the efforts of these hard working individuals, millions continue to face extreme discrimination, racism, and in many cases their rights are hardly recognized. A significant percentage of these workers also live in extreme poverty and in unsanitary conditions. An alarming number of these workers are underpaid, with hundreds reportedly unpaid at all. This is modern day slavery.

Thus, the Mideast Youth team created this project together in order to help our fellow human beings, whose efforts and courage we appreciate and greatly admire, and whose rights we seriously demand.

Other than this website being a valuable, reliable, and informative network that brings people who support this cause together, we also aim to effectively lobby our governments to change employment laws and recognize the human rights of expatriate workers throughout the region.

It’s time to give these workers the voice that they were never given in our countries.
