I encountered a sad young girl at the airport in Adis who realized only when she arrived in Adis that she was being trafficked to Saudi. She was 17.She had no money&wanted to go back home. I helped her go back but lost touch with her. She was sold by her uncle. We wept. https://t.co/MO1ubdSCvS

We did report the case but were told there are so many such cases that she might never get justice. She had been sitting at the airport for 4 days with no help.She didn’t speak any language they understood in Adis and so sat at the airport until I saw her sitting there crying

It was one of the saddest encounters. I don’t know how I noticed her,maybe it’s because I am mother to a 17yr old.

She was from Ghana,sold to a Nigerian man. I wanted to understand her story so badly that I walked around the airport asking people if they are Ghanaian. After only the second try I found a Ghanaian sista. This is how we found out her uncle had sold her. We all wept for a while.
