Flora Auma, 38, regrets having tolerated the thought that the grass is greener on the other side before she flew to Saudi Arabia to take up a job offer. Her hopes were dashed the moment she landed in her dream country only to meet a hostile employer and later fell into the arms of a ruthless master.

Auma was full of expectations when she boarded a Saudi Arabia-bound plane at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in November 2019.
