You Are Not Alone: Continuing the Fight Against Labor Trafficking
At Tukole Empathy, we focus on people, restoring dignity where systems fail, and giving voice to the silenced. The Mwagale Foundation, led by Joanita Ndagire, highlights the forced labor trafficking of Ugandan youth, especially young women, into the Middle East, advocating for safety and recovery for survivors in East Africa.
Solutions for Returning Migrant Workers
The issue of migrant workers from East Africa facing harsh conditions in the Middle East largely stems from systemic problems in the labor migration process, notably the kafala (sponsorship) system. Women, who make up a significant portion of domestic workers in the region, are particularly vulnerable to abuses in the system, which include physical and sexual violence, withholding of wages, and extremely poor living conditions.
Empowering Returnees - Initiatives to Support East African Migrant Women
Supporting migrant workers is not just about providing immediate aid; it's about investing in the long-term wellbeing of the global society, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their journey, has the opportunity to live with dignity and purpose.
