I like how they include "trafficked" in quotes, like they're suggesting that calling it trafficking is absurd. It's kind of disgusting.

In other discussions (see link above) people are comparing Qatar favorably to this situation. I remind people that Kafaka (slavery) systems still thrive in Qatar and other Gulf Coast Council nations. With or without pressure to become citizens, immigrants to Qatar may not be able to leave.

also:

Providing an interesting basis for comparison, the word kafala actually also refers to the system under which children are adopted in Islamic countries. Sharia law does not allow for legal adoption, giving adopted children same the legal status as biological children, but rather allows parents to “sponsor,” or guarantee the welfare of, an orphaned child and assume responsibility for its well-being.
