The Hidden Atrocity of the Kafala System: Addressing the Domestic and Sexual Abuse Against Female Migrant Workers in Qatar
Get PDFThe Kafala System is a labor sponsorship program in the Gulf Cooperation Council, Jordan, and Lebanon, originally created to be beneficial for migrant workers by providing a legal framework that provides advantages for both foreign workers and their local sponsors. However, this program has turned into an avenue for human trafficking, with different forms of exploitations increasing through it. This paper focuses on this system in the context of Qatar, discussing the history, nature of the Kafala System, as well as it’s impact on female migrant workers. Female migrant workers face a different set of struggles compared to their male counterparts, because of the increased vulnerability due to the culture surrounding women. Recognizing these struggles, this research attempts to suggest recommendations to decrease the exploitation of women in the Kafala System

Monstrosity in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows
Get PDFThe main characters in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows reveal the potential within everyone for Monstrosity. This disregard for humanity can stem from many things, but it can also be prevented through community and sympathy. Monstrosity is often misconstrued due to a false perception guided by a sighted bias.
