Who is Involved in Trafficking?
Traffickers
Usually people who have ties with organized crime- men and women responsible for the ‘sale’ of women to brothel owners and pimps.
Pimps/brothel owners
They are usually very organized and have links with international networks-particularly in Uzbekistan-and local immigration and police officials.
Private Industry
Hotels, newspapers, drivers, and internet services that provide services to brothel owners, pimps and more importantly, clients.
Clients
Without clients there would be no market for exploited victims. Dubai’s multicultural population is the key clientele for this industry.
Sponsors
Some sponsors abuse and exploit migrant domestic workers, making them work in slave-like conditions.
