One of the major work that CIMS have taken up since its launch is tracing the migrants who have gone missing in foreign countries. Indian migrants, majorly in the Gulf States become missing as a result of weak laws that often disregard the rights of migrant workers. The Kafala System practiced in many of the Gulf and African States gives rise to modern-day slavery, leading to the exploitation and abuse of the migrant labourers by their employers. Over the years, CIMS have attended cases where the migrant workers, especially domestic workers who undergo missing were put under house-arrest by their employers without letting them go out or contact families. Many migrant workers choose to abscond because of severe abuse by their employers. There are also cases where the missing migrants were found to be jailed in the destination countries or found dead.
