Bahrain is a major destination and transit country for women and children being trafficked by organised crime according to a report published by the Washington-based John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). The victims are largely from Ethiopia, the Philippines, Thailand, Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. The report also states that there are 50,000 people, mainly women, in domestic service in Bahrain who are totally unprotected by the government and as such are vulnerable to slave like conditions. Although there are no figures for trafficking in Bahrain, it is widely accepted that the county’s reliance on migrant workers has lead to a rapid growth in human trafficking. The report claims that a system which allows women to travel from Thailand without a visa for up to 15 days has helped traffickers to force women into prostitution in the country.
