“These stories are not isolated cases. The harrowing testimonies paint a worrying picture of ongoing state-enabled exploitation in a country with over four million domestic workers. It’s clear that for far too many workers, serious abuses and intimidation comes with taking a job in Saudi Arabia,” said Marta Schaaf, Amnesty International’s Director of Climate, Economic and Social Justice, and Corporate Accountability programme.
