Malawian woman who was lured to Oman with an offer of work reveals how she was enslaved and raped while getting as little as two hours’ sleep a night [Video]

A Malawian woman who was lured to Oman with the offer of work was enslaved and raped while getting as little as two hours’ sleep a night.

Georgina, from Lilongwe, Malawi, broke down in tears as she relived the abuse she experienced in new BBC Africa Eye documentary called Trapped in Oman.

The 32-year-old believed she had been recruited to work as a driver in Dubai – and hoping for a better life, she took the opportunity. 

She had owned a small business in Lilongwe and was getting by when she was approached by an agent saying she could earn more money in the Middle East.

It was not until the plane landed in Muscat, the capital of Oman, that she realised she had been deceived and subsequently trapped by a family who made her work gruelling hours, seven days a week.
