The Promising Illusion

A woman named Annika Boram, who once worked as a secretary in Sri Lanka, highlights the perilous journey that led her to a so-called legitimate job abroad. Initially drawn by an enticing offer of an IT job in Thailand with a salary significantly higher than her local wages, Annika and others moved forward without suspecting a scam. The reality of their situation became clear when they were trafficked to Myanmar, where they were handed over to armed guards and forced into a life of crime. This harrowing experience underscores the vulnerability of many individuals seeking better opportunities during financial crises.
