I ran away from slavery; now I help others escape

Available for over a year

Analiza made the painful decision to leave her family behind in the Philippines in order to find work abroad. She felt she had little choice: the family was in debt, and despite working several jobs, she and her husband couldn't make ends meet. She hoped to work abroad for a couple of years, secure the family's future, and return home – but it's been eight years since she's seen her children. She tells Mobeen Azhar how she was abused by her employer, and made the brave decision to escape. She now helps other women escape abusive employers.
