Children from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sudan are still being smuggled to the United Arab Emirates to work as camel jockeys, despite a law passed two years ago banning their use.
It is illegal for race clubs to use jockeys younger than 15 or weighing less than 45 kilos.
But young children can still be seen at racetracks across the UAE, and aid workers estimate there are up to 40,000 working across the Gulf.
Now the Sheikh of Abu Dhabi has given his backing to a new centre, set up to find and rehabilitate child camel jockeys.
