Ekitufu Lwaki Bankuba Kyeyo Bakwatibwa Mubudu

Migrant workers often find themselves trapped abroad due to exploitative practices by unscrupulous recruiters or employment agencies, who impose exorbitant fees for job opportunities in foreign lands. These hidden charges can lead the migrants into a debt trap, making it nearly impossible for them to return home even if they wish to do so. The workers are frequently unaware of their rights and lack access to legal resources or support networks that could help them navigate these challenging situations. This predicament is further compounded by language barriers, cultural differences, and the fear of losing potential future employment opportunities if they try to escape from such exploitative conditions. Consequently, many migrant workers are forced into a cycle of debt bondage with no viable means for repatriation or improvement in their living circumstances until their debts are paid off – often an unattainable goal under these oppressive systems.
