According to a May 2005 report by Anti Slavery International, a British NGO, hundreds of children are trafficked to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to work as camel jockeys each year. A majority of the boys come from Sudan, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Mauritania. Camel racing in the Gulf countries is a local pastime and has grown into a multi-million dollar business. It has now assumed the status of a hugely profit-making national sport in the UAE. Although UAE is one of the most developed countries in the Gulf region, as per UNICEF reports the country’s child exploitation levels are believed to be among the worst.
Young boys make the best jockeys as their lightweight frames match the structure of a camel’s back. The children sit perched behind the hump of the camel while directing the animal in the race.2 As part of international pressure to stop the exploitation of child jockeys, the UAE signed an agreement with UNICEF stating that the government, in partnership with UNICEF, would provide protection and extend support to children exploited by camel racers. UNICEF agreed to donate $ 2.7 million to help disband child labour in camel farms and relocate and rehabilitate the children.
