Rehabilitation for victims of human trafficking is limited by the Kafala system, which reinforces power imbalances between migrant workers and sponsors, and prevents victims from residing and working in Oman without a sponsor.

However, significant gaps remain. The law does not establish a dedicated compensation mechanism for victims, limiting access to meaningful remedies and justice. The Omani government continues to overlook the widespread forced labour conditions faced by low-income migrant workers.

Compared to its precursor, the new law offers stronger protections for victims, including free medical treatment for trafficking-related harm and exemptions from immigration and labour-related penalties.

A Brief Overview of Omanโs New Law on Combatting Human Trafficking - ย MRRORS
Advancing the rights of migrant workers throughout the Gulf and wider region
#Oman has recently enacted a new Law on Combating Human Trafficking. The law expands and clarifies the definitions of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, forced labour, and slavery, while imposing harsher penalties on perpetrators. buff.ly/uebcTaj

What still remains under #Saudiโs #Kafala regime:
- Work and residency visas are tied to the employer.
- Exit permits are required, though the process has changed.
- Workers still largely need employer consent to change jobs.
- Close to 4 million domestic workers remain excluded from most reforms.

#Saudi has made some strides under its Labour Reform Initiative which expand some rights streamline some processes, but these reforms do not equal an abolition of the sponsorship system

Allegations of organ trade and illegal harvesting are rife as GCC and African states fail to conduct autopsies - ย Migrant Rights
My investigation for @migrantrights.bsky.social is a deep dive into how trafficking for human organs flourishes, facilitated by design and by the negligence of countries at origin and destination.

This is an ongoing case of a Ugandan family being coerced to donate the organs of Patricia, whose death in the UAE is suspicious. This is not a one-off case. Illegal organ trade is rampant in the Africa-GCC corridor. @migrantrights.bsky.social investigated this only recently.
