Each year, men and women leave Aneda’s province in\u00a0Indonesia\u00a0in their hundreds to hire out as migrant workers\u2013 for places as varied as Kuwait, Hong Kong and Singapore.\u00a0Foreign lands offer what home cannot \u2013 an escape from poverty.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the dream of earning money abroad often goes awry. In order to leave, most take on large debts during the recruitment and training stage. These debts later create the conditions for a pliable workforce\u00a0\u2013\u00a0willing to work long hours but afraid to complain about exploitative conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n
