A Kenyan lady, Faith Wambui, who served as a maid in Saudi Arabia, bravely shares her harrowing experience of being impregnated by her Saudi Arabian employer.
In an exclusive interview with Tuko, Faith recounts the traumatic challenges she endured, including food deprivation, sleep deprivation, and exploitation.
She narrates how she embarked on her journey to Saudi Arabia with the support of her elder sister, only to encounter a starkly different reality upon arrival. Instead of the promised opportunities, she faced hostility and mistreatment from her employer.
Faith vividly recalls days of enduring hunger and sleepless nights, yet she felt compelled to endure these hardships due to the financial needs of her family back home in Kenya.
“He won’t give me enough food. Sometimes, I would go for three days without eating. I also did not used to get enough sleep. I really wanted to quit, but when I remembered the problems back home, I decided to endure the hardships in the house,” she shared, highlighting the difficult choices she faced.
Adding to her ordeal, Faith reveals the manipulative actions of her employer's brother, who exploited her vulnerabilities by withholding food and offering monetary assistance, ultimately leading to a tragic affair and her subsequent pregnancy.
“He would bring me some rice and soda. Sometimes, he would give me money, which I would later ask him to send to my family as my first three-month salary was going to my agent,” Faith sadly disclosed.
Faith's heart-wrenching story sheds light on the plight faced by many migrant workers abroad, trapped in exploitative and abusive situations far from home.
