Maid In Hell: BBC Africa Documentary Exposes Brutal Atrocities Kenyan Girls Go Through In Search Of Jobs In The Middle East

A short BBC Africa documentary has once again sparked a conversation online regarding young Kenyans seeking employment in the Middle East are tricked into slavery by local agencies. The video shows how Kenyan and Ghanaian girls are in demand in Arab countries where employment quickly turns into endless suffering and with no way back home since their passports are confiscated on arrival. This is not the first time there has been public uproar on this matter, the last time it happened, the government was forced to ban the export of housemaids to the Middle East. A ban that would later be lifted after the government signed fresh deals with Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Jordan. https://youtu.be/6CPCZAU47YQ Many have blamed the Kenyan government for these happenings, saying that were there better job opportunities in the country, young girls wouldn't be landing in the hands of these vile humans abroad. Here are some of the reactions online. https://twitter.com/takyir/status/1056519027449831424?s=19 https://twitter.com/Jackie_Arkle/status/1056538292601176064?s=19 https://twitter.com/BrutalHonest3/status/1056515506176512000?s=19 https://twitter.com/TeezyFBaby1/status/1056516857853890560?s=19 https://twitter.com/majidadilast/status/1056515296742293504?s=19 https://twitter.com/madikizela_wt/status/1056823468833017861?s=19
