Heart breaking 💔😭. This should be taken seriously and everyone should stand against the human trafficking...

[igweogba]

No one goes to work in the gulf with positive stories to tell

[TheSujitKDas]

This is pure human trafficking a criminal offence, but due to proverty these women are forced to do it. What a shame on us ? 😢😢

[perwezfazal]

This all the Mugals have given to Pakistan. This was the downfall of Mugals

[kiranrana]

They were not from india but from. Afghanistan. Iran Iraq and turkey

[mukeshvig]

This is such a disgraceful and humiliating condition of women.
Thanks to those thugs who have been running Pakistan for years !

[imonchowdhury]

this is the reality of arab countries.

[SEAZEN-bu]

We as Muslims as Pakistani should do something. Whoever is in UAE, find those hidden secrets spot where this works done, collect some evidence, voice recordings, video clips, and report it to the UAE government. I'm sure they'll take good care of these people.

Concept of muhra was popular with moghuls

Heera Mandi was the place where Muslim invaders used to bring slaves from Hindu kingdom.just google how many women Abdalis sold in Heera Mandi. It was used by Mughal for sex slaves since long. But how conveniently these guys are painting it as a dance place before refugees from India arrived. Just a propaganda video to show that it’s not a Pakistani thing.

[sahasransusbarik]

This is the history of Pakistani Muslim. These Pakistani people first became the slave of Afghan, Moughal, Arab, Parsian, Uzbek, Turk.

In a failed State like Pakistan nobody gets Justice, forget about these hapless girls. The same applies to Indians also.

[serpentphoenix]

Pakistan said it will 'eat grass' to get nukes. It's almost there.

[TesttestTest-ik]

Government is aware of this export .but ignore this for remittances

[rahulbiswas]

Sad 😢 and disgraceful. Zero tolerance action require for such crime.

[zainahmed]

If this is the problem in Pakistan, imagine how big of a problem will this be in India, with their big population and even in China and in USA ofcourse.

[bachhus]

Shameful to say the least.

Behind every such despicable act in any country there are men involved as Agents, Traffikers and lusty Customers.

Has any man paused to think if his sister or daughter tomorrow is subject to such a thing ???

This is nothing but sex slavery.

[Amara-kc]

Even I know a person personally a distant relative who used to live in uae and on his every visit all he used to ask for was prostitutes and once he purchased a student to sleep and when she said something that was not according to his mood he literally abused her and said same words u are paid .. nakhre na karo etc ..how dare u..etc .middle east and ppl living there even brought up in middle east gave me a v bad reputation.. astagfar

[jmudikun]

Shameful to see the horrible lengths people go to in order to make money

[zulfchoudhary]

We must take direct action against agents and Arabs who do these things by capturing them and bring them to court. Human life is sacrosanct for those not able or allowed to ex erise there rights by evil people, no matter how rich.
