    Iqbal Masih was just four years old when his single mother used him as collateral on a loan between a local employer of a carpet weaving factory in Pakistan to pay for her eldest son’s wedding. For the six long years he was employed, a typical workday included at least 14 hour shifts for six days a week with only one 30 minute break. Even though Iqbal lived under terrible conditions and the relentless threats of abuse, his mother had no choice but to keep borrowing money from the employer to make ends meet at home.

  • Undocumented Immigrants Should NOT Receive Public Assistance

    1953 Words  | 4 Pages

    Immigrants must overcome many barriers to succeed in America. First, migrants frequently must learn a new language. Inability to communicate is a critical barrier for accessing the health care system (Urrutia-Rojas, Marshall, Trevino, Lurie, & Minguia-Bayona, 2006). Second, the processes of work and schooling for themselves and their families can be daunting. Lastly, immigrants use the established social network of longer duration residents for reference and knowledge (Nandi, Galea, Lopez, Nandi, Strongarone, & Ompad, 2008). For purposes of this report, there are three different types of immigrant: legal, undocumented, and refugees or persons seeking asylum. All three types of residents want to succeed and achieve their personal dream.

  • The Refugee Women's Alliance: An Analysis

    1059 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Refugee Women's Alliance fosters a welcoming atmosphere for the students and parents who have only been in the United States for a short period of time. The students that I worked with are comfortable around the staff and the volunteers. I noticed that despite the language barriers, the students were not afraid to joke around with the staff. The students also have a platform to expressing their concerns, fears, and opinions. Positive relationships between the employees, the volunteers and the students prevent students from feeling alienated or ignored. The inclusive environment lets the students know that they are valued and that they do belong to the community. Integration process is a two-way street, where both the refugees/immigrants and the residents of the host country need to have mutual understanding and share a similar level of openness. The Refugee Women's Alliance also engages the receiving communities' members to build broader support for refugees and immigrants among mainstream American society. The organization utilizes

    The aforementioned requisites of Kafala system creates numerous possibilities for companies and employers to exploit and traffic employees. Accordingly, millions of migrants, mostly from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia and the Philippines, have been subjugated, abused, and harmed in what many people describe as “modern slavery.” Despite numerous changes within jurisdictions of the aforementioned countries, little progress has been made since the establishment of the Kafala system, largely attributed to the unawareness of this problem and the lack of willingness from GCC country governments. According to Jessica Caplin, “There is currently little NGO and civilian involvement in the struggle for greater rights” (Caplin, 2009, p. 32), asserting the fact that most civilians are unaware of this problem even in countries where sponsorship systems are implemented.... ... middle of paper ...

    Middle Eastern women need to stand up for their rights and get educated to reverse the notion that they are servants and properties of their men. Furthermore, they need to rise up to their potentials and prove beyond doubt that they are equal to men. This practice would lead the path for future generations to follow and protect the inalienable rights of women. Finally, these women need to break the cycle of oppression by addressing these deeply rooted beliefs, gaining the tools to fight back, and joining forces to make lifelong changes.

  • Non profit Organization

    1419 Words  | 3 Pages

    Nonprofit and for-profit businesses have multiple similarities and differences. For-profit organizations are very different from non-profit organizations because the driving goal of a for-profit organization is increasing its revenue whereas a non-profit organization will not go out of business if it suffers financial loss or does not have a bottom-line. The marketing process also differs, with the biggest differentiating factor of profit marketing is to encourage customers to buy and while the nonprofit marketing purpose is usually to encourage people to give. This means that the return on investment differs between the two. Although the principles of marketing remain the same, some of the methods must, of necessity, be different. Because of the intense involvement in the community as well as support from government, agencies non-profit firms should not compete in the same markets as for profit companies nor in anyway position their organization in any way to give the impression that their efforts could be commercial based (Nelson, 2002).

    Nowadays governments, NGOs and other organizations try to limit the migration, but it isn’t possible as successfully as it is expected, because the main causes of migration are rooted in the society and it is hard to uproot them. The main migration aims can be divided into two aspects- economic and social aspects. Economic aspect includes mainly problems with money and desire for better job and salary. Migration to achieve better job and salary is only chance for women to gain poverty, because then they can be economically independent from their husbands and families. For men it is easier to get better job whit better salary and better working conditions. Unfortunately for women it isn’t so easy. Mostly they get works that is connected with entertainment, manufacturing, social works or education. But not always the conditions are good. The job could be illegal, irregular, with lower incomes and with poor working conditions. But ...

This is such a blessing because Allah has bestowed upon the Muslim Ummah to make the earth pure and making it a Masjid. As the Messenger of Allah said, “I have been granted five things which were not granted to any other Prophet before me: (one of them) the whole earth has been made a Masjid. And pure for me, so whenever the time of prayer comes for anyone of you, he should pray wherever he is.” (Hadith) Currently the mosques are thought to be, a place of worship, for breaking the fast during Ramadan and little other things.
