Our World
S13E27 Silicon Valley's Online Slave Market
Google, Apple, and Facebook-owned Instagram are inadvertently supporting an illicit online market for domestic workers in the Gulf by allowing apps that facilitate their sale. An undercover investigation by BBC News Arabic’s For Our World uncovers individuals in Kuwait violating both local and international laws regarding modern slavery, including a woman attempting to sell a child. Central to this impactful documentary is Fatou, a 16-year-old who has spent nine months in Kuwait City. The film chronicles her rescue and return to her home in Guinea, West Africa, while questioning the measures being taken to regulate these apps.
