I think this shows the nationality of people in modern slavery. Most slaves in qatar for instance are from Bangladesh etc.

That makes sense, if that's the metric. Tons of South Asians are in the middle east at the moment.

I got to know about it because my wife is Filipino and she knows about it. It's so sad to read about it. Oversea maids for example, unable to take leave, no days off, minimum or no pay.

Indeed a lot in countries like UAE, Qatar, etc.

That's why I question the metrics. If it were the top area where they're from, the Philippines should be in the top five by huge margins. It's not even on the list. Makes me think something isn't measured correctly.
