Video Description

BBC Africa Eye investigates the plight of Malawian women lured to Oman with offers of domestic work, only to be trapped in a cycle of exploitation, with little hope of escape.

The investigation also examines the poverty and desperation that leads young people to seek opportunities in the Middle East, and the weak justice system that often allows their employers to abuse them with impunity. Intimate testimonies reveal widespread accounts of sexual and physical abuse, or worse, of African workers - and the film follows the work of an extraordinary network of women working across three continents fighting to bring them home, often against impossible odds. *** 🎥 Watch this documentary in SWAHILI here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QeZA0eZkfg and in FRENCH here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89r0LMqW38Q 🎧 LISTEN to 'The Documentary: Trapped in Oman' from @BBCWorldService and #BBCAfricaEye here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct6q7y 🗞 READ about this investigation here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-68565425 Africa Eye brings you original, investigative journalism revealing secrets and rooting out injustice in the world’s most complex and exciting continent.
