John,

My name is Ahmed Abdul Majeed - after 40 years of hard work in Saudi Arabia, the Kafala system nearly destroyed my life.

At the height of COVID-19, I was suddenly fired from a company owned by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. When I asked to return home to care for my sick wife, HR confiscated my passport. Overnight, I became a detainee - trapped, unpaid, and terrified.

Then they threatened me: “Collect $100,000 from corporate accounts or spend the rest of your life in jail.” I had nothing to do with these accounts but I had no choice. I begged my son in India to sell our home to pay the money. Only then did they return my passport and I left

Behind abuses like mine are financial giants - BlackRock, Vanguard, Allianz, HSBC - pouring billions and fueling a system that traps workers and strips them of their humanity. If they truly care about human rights, they must stop funding modern-day slavery.

Sign the petition: demand justice for me - and an end to the Kafala system that destroys lives.

When global investors pull their money, MBS feels it. Divesting from the system built on exploitation puts real pressure on him to end Kafala. Money is the one language this government understands - take it away, and change becomes impossible to ignore.

My case is not a mistake - it is the outcome of a system. Kafala is modern-day slavery, giving employers total control over a worker’s life, freedom, and fate.

Behind the glittering Gulf skylines is a hidden web of abuse - from the construction workers who built Qatar’s stadiums to domestic workers trapped in homes across the region.

I am old. I am sick. I don’t know how much time I have left. But I know this: if you stand with me, they cannot ignore me and other workers forever. For five and a half years, I fought alone. Today, I’m asking for your voice.

Sign now to demand an end to the Kafala system and justice for me & every exploited worker.

Human rights groups, the ILO, and international watchdogs have already exposed the truth: Kafala is exploitation, not employment. With your voice, we can make it impossible for governments and corporations to hide behind their polished PR while profiting from abuse.
