Kafala

The kafala system is a sponsorship system used in many Arab countries, including those in the Gulf Cooperation Council, which binds migrant workers to a specific employer throughout their stay in the country. The system has been criticized for allowing employers to exploit workers, confiscate passports, and commit other abuses, with little chance of legal repercussions. The system was also used in Israel until it was eliminated by the supreme court in 2006, and similar practices still exist today for migrant domestic workers in Israel.learn more on wikipedia
