There is a low rate of crime in Kuwait.[1] Incidents of violent crime against foreign citizens are extremely uncommon.[2] The country is a destination point for men and women who migrate legally from South and Southeast Asia for domestic or low-skilled labor. People from South Asian countries like Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka and Southeast Asian nations like the Philippines are trafficked into Kuwait.[3] Kuwait along with Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia is in Tier 4 rank which has greater wealth, but a worse human trafficking situation.[4]
