   KENYAN MIGRANT domestic workers have faced exploitation and racism while working in Saudi Arabia, according to a shocking new report.

   The 96-page report, Locked in, left out: the hidden lives of Kenyan domestic workers in Saudi Arabia, by Amnesty International documents the experience of more than 70 Kenyan women who previously worked in Saudi Arabia.

   Often deceived by recruiters in Kenya about the nature of their jobs, once in Saudi Arabia they were made to work under brutal conditions, regularly toiling for more than16 hours, being denied days off and prevented from ever leaving the house.

   Speaking to the Amnesty anonymously, one worker called Joy (not her real name) said: “I have no freedoms, because once you are inside you never go out. You don’t go out and do not see out. This made me feel like it’s a prison.”

   “Because of my dark complexion, I was always called a Black animal. The children would also come to my face to point and laugh, saying how I am a monkey,” said another worker only known as Niah (not her real name).

   The women also faced awful living conditions and inhumane treatment including sexual, verbal and physical assault. Employers typically confiscated their passports and phones and sometimes withheld their wages.

     @HebrideanHecate Ehm, they are known to still enslave Africans even in Africa (Arabs do that is). It is foolish to think that they would behave otherwise in their own country. Especially as they stopped suffering from the part of Islam which tells them they can not enslave another Muslim.
     There are often a lot of Phillipinas in Arab countries and they have really hard life. There were murders and serious cases of torture etc. from them. Let´s not forget white prostitution (especially from Russia, Ukraine etc.)

     @HebrideanHecate @PohlMe Only white people are racist.
