Migration & Human Trafficking in the Global South (Dr. Jonathan Ngeh)

Human trafficking is a devastating widespread tragedy that is closely intertwined with processes of globalisation and migration. In his lecture Dr. Jonathan Ngeh discussed the unhappy fate of Cameroonian migrants living and working in the Arab Gulf countries who were faced with unexpected labour exploitation, physical and sexual abuses. His analysis utilises data from ethnographic fieldwork undertaken in Dubai (in 2015) and in Cameroon (in 2016).

The lecture took place on 13 February 2020 at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
