Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is a problem which involves trafficking of young boys and women. Young boys are trafficked into the country for the purpose of being used as camel jockeys. There were many camel jockeys working in the UAE under inhumane conditions but these have now been replaced by robot jockeys. Most camel jockeys were found in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The country is in the process of eradicating this issue completely.
In 2009, there were 43 cases of human trafficking in the UAE, up from 20 cases in 2008.
