For women going to Gulf countries as domestic workers, poverty is the enemy

There is a video clip of a young woman screaming at another woman who allegedly took her to some Gulf country for work, but when she started getting mistreated, declined to help her get back home.

The clip that has gone viral was supposedly shot at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport when the family of the screaming woman, let's call her a victim of torture, had gone to meet her when she came back from some Gulf county where Kenyan women go to seek employment and end up working long hours while living in deplorable conditions and some even die.

Before that video clip went viral, photographs of another Kenyan woman who had gone to the Gulf for work was doing the rounds on social media, with captions that she was being mistreated by her employer and needed to be rescued.
