Hope
My family went into
debt to pay my
recruitment fee- if I
return home as a
failure I will betray
my family.
I feel so ashamed.
Am I a victim?
My family may be killed.
I will be deported.
I fear law enforcement.
Victim Challenges
“I didn’t believe in police. I really believed what
my trafficker said. My trafficker said they will
put you in jail; they will send you back… she
said in this country, dogs have more rights. And
I believe. I believe everything she said because
she has been living here for a long time, she
knows, she speaks English, she has money,
everything, and I didn’t have anything.”
