Not in the UAE. The embassies are very aware but helpless. The women (maids) and men (builders) are told they'll go to prison or worse if they try to run. There are girls that were raped being publicly lashed for having sex or in some cases even for getting pregnant outside of marriage. Easy to draw scenarios to keep them. Or the typical Eastern European or African slave: they get a simple message: "if you complain we kill your little sister (or send her over to take your place!!)".
